Folks,
For those of you new of the off-road game, or want a reminder, I though I would post some basic trail etiquette. I'll go over some of this in the drivers meeting as well, and since this is an easy run, you won't have to worry much about a lot of it. But it's a "good to know" kinda thing...

Looks like there's a spot that's kinda washed out and a little harder than usual. Take a look at the comments: https://www.trailsoffroad.com/US/california/trails/830-3n17-white-mountain
I just posted a slight variation of this run for Friday. The only thing I added was 3N83 (Upper Holcomb Rd) which will add an hour, at the most. You can find it here. I picked Friday to avoid some of the traffic that we can get on some of these trails. I hope it works!
I'll be leading a run on Friday of Big Bear Bronco Bash, and invite anyone who's interested to join me. Since there are so many folks interested, we are going to break up the group and give some of you a chance to help the USFS OHV volunteers with a little light trail maintenance. The rest...
OK< so we will skip The Squeeze, but I'm going to add in a fun little bit that will stretch this just a little past a 2 or 3 depending on how torn up the trail is. But I promise, I will get you back in plenty of time for happy hour at the Moose.
My suggestion is that if you want to get ready for the Rubicon, you want your way up in difficulty in order to learn your limits, as well as your Bronco's limits and what those are together. Here's the trails I would suggest you do in this order:
Gold Mountain Trail (3N69)
Dishpan Springs...
I'll take this one @Dusty, but if you don't mind, I might make a little tweak to the route and add The Squeeze so that would bump up that difficultly a little, at least for that part of it.
OK, I'm planning on leading an Upper Holcomb run on maybe Sat? But I don't want to conflict with this run. So, let me know which day you want to do you're and I'll do the opposite.
Thanks Dusty. I'm defiantly interested in the bumper integrated tire carrier. If for no other than than I think that Bronco's should have a swing out tire carrier. :) Anyway, I'll be following your progress on that. In the meantime, I've been doing a bit of research and ran across one...
