What to bring with you: Good Attitude - This group is big...we'll need to be patient with each other Snacks, food, beverages (no alcohol consumption en route please) $ for a meal afterwards (preferably cash in case they wont split check) Spare fluids for vehicle Recovery gear if you have it. Recovery point front and rear (factory hook is fine) Description: Begin on Rouse Hill truck trail (5S15) on Hwy 74 and follow to/through Thomas Mountain. From the staging point, elevation will increase from 1900' to 5550' at the end of Rouse. The trail ends up back on 74 headed west (about 2 hrs give or take depending on speed). Then head toward Idyllwild (about 25 minutes of pavement). After meetup at the top, get onto Bee Canyon (5S09/5S07) in Pine Cove and head back down the mountain. Half way down is where the turn off for Indian Mountain is. Those continuing on Bee Canyon will end close to our start on the 74. 4S21 Indian Mountain Info: I have confirmed that it is a black diamond. "It is very similar to 2N17X, except much narrower. 4S21 starts on the high side at Hwy 243 at the Indian Vista N33.79700 W116.77794 and on the low side on 5S09 at N33.7676 W116.7894" San Jacinto Length: 3.75 miles. Time to complete: 1 hour. 4S21 can be found in the San Bernardino National Forest in the San Jacinto area. 4S21 is available to all Off Highway Vehicles. 4S21 has been adopted by the Hemet Jeep Club. The US Forest Service rates this trail a blue square more difficult route. On 4S21 you can expect to encounter narrow shelf roads with tight switchbacks and old firebreaks running on ridges. You can expect to encounter deep ruts. Elevation ranges from 4700' to 5790'.

I would really like to see our SoCal club get active again, with organized monthly runs/meetings. I am also of the mindset that in order to include the most members, we should have an easy run and a more difficult run. I will update this post as we work out the details. As always, I am open to all suggestions and comments. Main Route: Indian Mountain (Optional):

No sound / music? where's the Slayer!!

Yeah, I need to get a sound card for my computer because the onboard sound doesn't want to work and I couldn't think of a good 14 minute track. Blows my mind too, motherboard is only like 2 years old. I think the GoPro software automatically mutes sound when you speed up the video.
