Bill and I were thinking of hitting big bear this sat(4/7). no plans yet of any specific trail. we love all of them, top of my list is dishpan springs but gold mountain is allways a good one. and holcomb creek so depending on who wants to go and capability of driver/rig we will decide wat trail. would most likely want to meet up there around 10ish. :dance:

I would like to run from 3n34 from the Pinnacles staging area off hwy 173 in Arrowhead. It will lead us (via a very mellow but scenic trail) to Deep Creek (awesome creek) and just before that we could hit Splinters Cabin (if the trail is open) If not its a 1/2 of a mile walk. Then we could proceed on from Deep Creek through Dishpan springs (black diamond) ending up at Crab Flats and exiting to Hwy 18 in Green Valley. Thoughts?

I know a guy that has them for $120 with the hardware. He's in San Bernadino. Let me know if you want his contact info.

I have the Ace rails also. Rails are critical protection. I must have slammed and slid on my rails at least half a dozen times in Calico this weekend. Cool grinding sound! :D

Sounds to me like you guys need a hardcore weekend, I may just have to wait on my rock rails before taking any of these runs.

Im scouring Craigslist though, for a good deal on some old Rubi Rails.. fingers crossed!
Having not run dishpan i can not speak to that trail but u will deff be able to do gold mntn nd holcomb they both have easy and hard lines to pick.

Coop, I've seen stockers go thru dishpan, but not without some rock rash, some worse than others. It's kinda like the first waterfall we did at calico on Saturday, only it's steeper and about 200' long. I always go up the face of the waterfall, but the bypass isn't a cake walk either. Very fun trail. Wish I could go, but I'm too busy at the shop. Have a great time!

ok so i talked to bill were goin to go with holcomb creek in big bear on saturday the 7th meeting at the BB discovery center at 930am.almost anyone is welcome to come this is not a begginger trail but stockers should be able to make it. rock rash is a deffent possibilty. (i have the proof on my jeep)

Ok, so I have been searching through maps and trail guides, and it seems to me that Holcomb creek is closer to Arrowhead than Big Bear. It even appears to me that I will be driving past Holcomb about 10-12 miles on hwy18 to get the Big Bear Discovery Center... am I not reading the maps right?

See the dent under my pass door. I tried taking the hardest line in the hardest rock garden and didnt quite have the clearance. But the two other jeeps make it out unscaved. Smartly they didnt take the same line i tried.
