INFO:

Here is the plan. We're going to be running primarily Bullfrog Trail with a mixture of trails that collide. But the main trail will be Bullfrog. I don't think I've ever lead this trail before, but I have been there a few times.​

Trail Description:

This trail has many different obstacles for lots of different experienced drivers. Some but not all have bypasses. We recommend you bring a CB radio for communications. This trail calls out for 3 Hours and could take up to 4-5 hours depending on situations we might encounter. So, please keep this in mind. Everyone starts the trail and we will all finish the trail.


MEET:

Let's plan on meeting off the 15N at this location at 8:30 A.M.

I am very intersted but waiting to see if my tire comes in. Kinda want to have my spare. Ran Montino on sunday and side wall went again # 3 for BFG km2's. Thank god for Discount tire warranty.
I was planning on calico so I could play around gatekeeper but doesn't look like,e its going to pan out for a camping trip so I might be down for this..big bear is OK but I'd rather hit jv.....
I'll look and see how things transpire tomorrow/Thur.
Planning on it. PM sent with details. Which rig is down, yours?
Have any of you ran this trail before?

Has anyone got a GPS point - point on running bullfrog? .gpx

If we can get us four on this trail it could be really fun and we can have a pretty good pace.

Ahhh Bull Frog, the trail that started it all for us. Good trail shame it is so far away, like all trails from here. Won't be joining ya on this run but, will be looking forward to the footage. Since you are there ya might as do Cake Walk. Two trails cross one another several times. THere is a nice crack to cross in Cake Walk with a good down hill too. Got the pucker going on those two.

OP:
My old man and I are looking at running Johnson Valley. Usually we'd have two of our rigs going but one is down.

The Plan: Run Bullfrog and Extra Credit.

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in running this? If no interest, we may end up running with the guys going up to Big Bear area.

Our last time out, and I would be capturing footage.

it's not so much how much trouble you'll get into, it's the amount of damage you'll take. if youre fine with that, i'll add you to the list. i just don't like when i lead a group of people out and prewarn them about the requirements and they end up hating me for taking them through it. if you can accept that, you will be ok.
