I'm off Thursday and I could meet up at the bottom and scout the area around the bottom up, but I'd only be with you guys for half a day, I work my last shift of school year on Friday.

I’m still wrapping my head around the radios situation. Not to go off on a tangent but I have the 8W UV-5R in my cart right now, that will run the frequency you listed, correct?

Looking forward to my first bash!

I'll be leading a run on Friday of Big Bear Bronco Bash, and invite anyone who's interested to join me.

• DATE & TIME: Friday, June 7, 9:00 AM
• TRAIL RATING: Should be Medium, depending on the condition of the trail and whatever else we tack on.
• TRAILS: Horsethief Flats & More (see description)
• STAGING LOCATION: Big Bear Convention Center parking lot at the corner of Big Bear Blvd. and Division Drive. Google Maps LINK
• MAX VEHICLES: 20
• COMMS: SCB-3 (VHF 146.460)

This should be a "Medium" run. I'm not 100% sure on the route we will take yet but it WILL include Horsethief Flats as the main component. We may tack on Tip Top Mountain, and possibly come through Broom Flats and Balky Horse Canyon on our way back, if I decide to return by that route. All of these are rocky/bumpy but not too technical. The only real wildcard will be climbing back up out of Horsethief Flats. It's been many years since I've been down there. The road is steep in places and it may be deteriorated somewhat from the winter storms. There, at least, I believe you will need 4-Low, at least for the gearing if not so much for the traction. But we'll find out together. If we come to anything that looks too gnarly for the group we can divert.

We'll meet at the Big Bear Convention Center. Please be there, gassed up and ready to roll out by 9:00. Bring a lunch, and all the usual gear. Spare tire and the tools to change it, a tow strap and secure tow points at both ends. Plenty of water and/or your hydration of choice. Please make sure your cooling system is working well. If it's a hot day, the climb out of Horsethief Flats can put it to the test. This is mostly meant for my Early Bronco friends. Cooling shouldn't be an issue for the 6G's if driven right.

I'd like to limit the number of vehicles to 20. If you'd like to join me please post up below and include your real name so I have more than just your forum handle. I'll only add your name to the list if you say you are definitely in.
