SoCal Meet-up?

Looks like we'll have a great turn out any day we choose to meet. I have a couple of ideas.
1. We can meet on the 11th, but we won't have Pikeman as a guide. Is anyone familiar enough with some easy/moderate difficulty trails to lead the run?

2. We plan the meet for the 18th so Pikeman can guide us.

3. We have 2 events. 1 easy trail meet (11th), and 1 moderate difficulty trail meet (18th).

I hope I'm not overcomplicating things. I'm leaning to #2.

Lets do the 18th and call it the pre-Father's Day Run. Next point of business, what trail to hit. Anybody checking out maps or have ideas for an easy/moderate trail that our 2WD members can navigate?
 
Don't know if this will help. I've never been out there but will do some investigating.

San Bernardino National Forest - Bee Canyon OHV Road 5S07

There are several other trails that seem to connect

Bee Canyon OHV Road 5S07
East Indian Creek OHV Road 4S10
Indian Canyon OHV Road 4S06
Indian Mountain OHV Road 4S21
Juan Diego Flat OHV Road 7S04
Juan Diego OHV Road 6S89
Mellor Ranch OHV Road 4S05
Red Mountain OHV Road 6S22


Some more info....

Some of the 4x4 roads in the area to explore are:
3S07
3S08
3S09
4S01 Black Mountain
4S02 Dark Canyon
4S05
4S06 Indian Creek Rd
4S10 East Indian Creek Rd
4S19 Poppet Flat Divide Rd
4S21 Indian Mountain
5S05 Bonita Vista Rd
5S06 Old Control Rd/Toll Rd Canyon
5S07 Bee Canyon
5S09 San Jacinto Ridge Rd
5S10
5S11
5S13
5S15 Rouse Ridge Rd
5S21 May Valley Rd
5S24
6S05 Fobes Ranch Rd
6S09 Gold Hill
6S10 Penrod Canyon
6S11 Garner Ranch Rd
6S13 Thomas Mtn Rd
6S16
6S17 Blackburn Ridge
6S16
6S22 Red Mountain
6S89
7S13 Bull Canyon Rd
Herkey Creek Rd
Apple Canyon Rd
Devils Ladder Rd
Bautista Canyon

These roads are all easy except for 4S21 Indian Mountain. Going downhill it is a mild blue, going uphill it is a difficult blue. It is very similiar 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

Thanks for taking the time to acquire all of that info for everyone, Mark!

It'll be great to see some new faces.

Jeeez! I didn't expect this much interest. We can do Bee's Canyon, but 4 of us just did it last month (see the pics in the Monst4rs section). I know some guys want to do Cleghorn, but I don't know the difficulty level. Anyone run it yet?
 
I'm interested in meeting up with other 4runner owners. I'd make the drive down from Monterey, let me know when so I can get someone to watch the kids, otherwise I'm open to anything!
 
On the wimpy trail, will my TE on shltty stock rubber be okay?

Total new guy at this, my background is road racing sports cars stuff not off-road.

I will have my little guys with me ages 12 & 10.

You would be more than fine. I did 2n17X (Hard) trail in my stock limited with the 20 inch wheels and bicycle tires.
 
So let's figure this out...

From what I got so far, we have a big turnout for mostly the 18th. Since we have so many people that can make it for the 18th, Could we do Bee's Canyon again? It looks like a great place, & we would have an easy trail to get a lot of guys out together. Maybe next month we can plan for a different trail.

Do we have PIKEMAN as a guide? Has anyone confirm it with him as well? Either way we need to get this confirmed so I can request the right day off. :) Please let us know, the sooner the better.

Thanks!

I have been off net doing field excercises all month. I get back beginning of June and should get my truck back together a couple days after that. I have all the parts waiting for me at home to get it back on the road. Then again there is always those small items you miss.

Plan right now is to make the run on the 18th. I can lead just about any of the easy to moderate runs throughout the San Berdo Forest(which includes the San Jacinto/Idywild area)might even get my hands on some of the MVUM's(Motor Vehicle Use Maps) in English this time.
