Turdhurdler looks to be getting some details figured out about this next camping trip. We will be heading out July 30th and heading home August 1st. The proposed idea is to arrive Friday afternoon/evening and head into town for dinner at Big Bear Brewery. Then on Saturday running John Bull and Gold Mountain with a potluck dinner to follow. There are a few options for campgrounds that Turd has mentioned. These include: Heart Bar, Barton Flats, and Hanna Flat. We are also looking for a few more experienced drivers to volunteer as trail leaders. As of now, this is who we have coming along. Feel free to post up if you are coming, what you can bring to the potluck, and any other suggestions!
The Crew:
Turd and Mrs. Turd (a couple possible friends)
Stevens243 and Mrs. Stevens243
Unlimited
Cons_Table and Mrs. Cons_Table
Maybe we can do one the same weekend on the "right" coast...? How about it east coasters, who wants to get together somewhere for some wheeling and camping?
update:
Turd and mrs. Turd (a couple possible friends)= 1 tent
stevens243 and mrs. Stevens243
unlimited = 1 large box on wheels
cons_table and mrs. Cons_table= 1 tent
My goal is to have the replacement TJ ready in time for this trip but I still have several things to do to get it ready so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I hope I can get it ready in time!
Right now it's missing one of its two locker compressors & the other wasn't installed when I got it, there's no rear tow hitch for my pop-up trailer (installing one the way this TJ is configured won't be easy), and there are no skidplates. I have some used skidplates but I have to fab up some mounting hardware to get the engine skid installed.
Just in case I can't get the tow hitch installed in time, will you guys be camped anywhere close to where the wife & I can rent a cabin at?
Was doing a little looking, and I think there are a few places to stay in Fawnskin. According to a site I looked at about Hanna Flat, we will only be about 2 and a half miles northwest of Fawnskin.
And I hope you can make it jerry. Im lookin forward to meetin all of u guys. U may check with Turd as far as a cabin goes, he may be more familiar with the area

Thank you Jeff. I hope I can get my receiver hitch situation straightened out by then so I can tow my tent trailer but if not, that list will come in handy.

Ok Ok Ok!!! We are in. What are the amenities and which camp ground? Trying to talk the wife into using our tent. How much ya need to reserve a spot. With and without RV? Turd we are local so I will meet up with you and give you the cash if you reserve the spot.
Good question...What are the payment arrangments Turd? You were making the reservations, correct? So do we pay on arrival or how do we want to go about this?

We are staying at the Hanna Flat campground. Site fee is 24.00 per night for tent camping. Not sure about RV prices. Let me know if you wish to have tent or RV site and I will set it up. I have space 65 already reserved and Mr. Unlimited is booking space 63 as an RV site. So use the link below to choose a site and I will set it up.
I am getting excited for the Meet n Greet. We have a couple of new members joining us for the fun and a few experienced members. This is gonna be fun. Woo Hoo!!!
Dang Cons_table, you responded faster than me. Follow the link and let me know what site you like. We are not too far from the restrooms and not too close to the road.

OK eveyone, are we interested in doing a pot luck again this time or do you prefer to fend for yourselves? If a pot luck is the choice, lets toss up some menu ideas.
Thanks for the invite! I like the sound of the Meet and Greet in Big Bear on July 30.
I'll mark that on the calander.
Do I need to bring anything besides the jeep and my co-pilot Jylli (11 yo daughter).
Food, drinks, etc...
Are you s Tent Camper group? I have a tent, air matress, etc
Are there other kids at the meet and greet that are ~11 y.o.?
As far as camping goes, I believe you can bring a tent or a camper...whichever you prefer. We are still working on setting up the potluck from the sound of things. Keep checking back and Im sure there will be updates on the potluck.
Rubidubi, most of us are tent camping. Not sure if there will be other children, but we are a pretty friendly crowd. We try to keep the meets family friendly just like on the forum. As for the reservation of a spot, there is a link above in post # 32 giving the camp site info.
For things to bring, we ask that you bring a Jeep in good repair, with all safety gear in working order, recovery points front and rear, at least a tow strap, basic tools, first aid kit, etc. Pretty much what other groups would ask for.
We look forward to having you join us and enjoying Big Bear.
Jeff
