Miller Jeep Trail - June 11th/12th and camping
Just called the Mt. Pinos Ranger station they said Miller Jeep trail is scheduled to open this weekend!!
So how about doing to trail the weekend of June 11th?
I will be camping, camping can be optional.
(I just copied Armands info from out last run and changed it a bit)

Miller Jeep Trail is rated difficult, but is really moderate for a Jeep. For comparison it's not much more difficult than Last Chance Canyon or Cleghorn, which some of us recently hit. For this trail run, everyone's Jeep needs to have tow points both front and rear. A CB radio is also highly recommended to be able to communicate with the group on the trail. Please bring a bundle of firewood, plenty of water (I recommend at least a gallon per person per day), provisions and food for overnight camping, and a party attitude!
So here's the plan:
Saturday 6/11/11
Pack a lunch to eat on the trail.
8:00am Gas up and meet at Flying J's
42810 Frazier Mountain Rd
Lebec, CA 93243
661-248-2505
8:30am go to Big Johns Mountain Grill for breakfast
(I think I ate here a long time ago when i used to ride motorcycles through here - good breakfast i remember)
3121 Mount Pinos Way
Frazier Park, CA 93225
9:50am We should reach the trailhead about this time.
N34 45.578 W119 02.987
10:00am Air down and disconnect at the Staging area.
N34 44.059 W119 02.364
We'll immediately hit the first obstacle, called the Gate Keeper, which is pretty representative what's more to come, hence its name. If you can't get past the Gate Keeper, you shouldn't be on the trail. (Don't let that statement scare you. Everyone should be fine.)
Break for lunch along the trail at Sunset Camp
N34 41.998 W119 00.023
3:00pm Arrive at the end of the trail at the campgrounds in the moutains - (I think we need a camping permit) Or drive out to Hungary Valley and hop on the 5 home. Its about 30-45 minutes from the trail end.
Sunday
We'll have breakfast then break camp, play around on the obstacle courses in 4WD Practice Area at Hungry Valley, maybe hit short trail or two at Hungry Valley if anybody still hasn't gotten enough wheeling by then, then air up and head home.
So post up if you want in!
