I'm 4wd...but I might be up for a little weekend get-away/camping or day trip thing. Cleghorn was a suggestion as it is easy for the 2wd and has some fun stuff for the 4xers too. Not all the trips have to be white knuckle ;) Never run the Holy Jim trail.

When though?

I'd be down to go this weekend. A day trip would be the best for me... but I'm open to other options as well. Let me know.

This weekend won't work for me as well...I have to go to a Saltwater Hobby Convention in Pomona.

Will try to free up some weekend time in the next few weeks.

Ok... Does anybody here do any trail driving? There is a huge group of FJs that go quite often. We should see if they would not mind a couple of us trailing along.

Anyone interested???

I was just out last weekend. We didn't decide to go until 9pm friday night or I would have posted a message here. This weekend I am booked. Next time I have enough advanced planning, I'll post a message here (when we plan on doing a non-technical trail).

OK Since you have a 2WD ... I would tend to stick with easy (green) rated trails for now. I have a couple in mind. We could easily do a day trip. Nov 1st is potentially open. I am busy the weekend of the 15th. Anyway...see what your schedule is like. We could get a bunch of 4runners together but of course being a 2WD capable trail the hard core people may not be interested in joining us. Anyway I have to get some rest...work tomorrow...You can PM me if you wish.

Evening...

Is there a map that I can purchase that will show the "green rated" trails? If not, what trails do you recommend here in SoCal?

I purchased some books written by Peter Massey called Backcountry Adventures. The trails listed on all the books are rated from 1 to 10, 1 being 2wd friendly. You can look for the books through Amazon
