There was some snow up there last time we went but was in the shade. I presume most of it should be gone. But I am sure someone will know more than I.

I'm there if my Jeep is ready . . . hoping to get the parts by Thursday and have it at the shop on Friday. Work blew up today, so I'm going to have to be creative to get out of Friday.

That's the thing . . . I just don't know how long I'll have mine:eek: Starting to realize what all the jokes like "Just Empty Every Pocket" are about! We really need to figure out a way to turn wheelin' into a career.

I wish I could meet up with you guys, but I have a friend's 40th b-day to go to. Have fun...

I just don't know how long I'll have mine:eek:

Yours and mine bro ;)

Starting to realize what all the jokes like "Just Empty Every Pocket" are about!

Don't worry, it's just the beginning. :D

We really need to figure out a way to turn wheelin' into a career.

Working on that, but so far I am coming up empty.

Where are you meeting?

flying j 10am. I am a slow driver will take me about an hour to get there

wow, I shoulda googlie mappy thingyed the darn place myself, thanx for the link... I dunno if my kids are up to the drive to the trailhead, but we'll see...

what trail are you guys running out there?

i would love to join you.

what trail are you guys running out there?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I've been wanting to hit Lockwood/Miller Jeep trails. I'm going to say I'm 70% sure that I'm gonna join you guys.

main reason im asking what trails you are doing is because last time i checked Miller/Lockwood were not open yet.

Miller,Mutah,and Frazier mine roads are still closed at least till the end of the month because of fire damage( they want vegetation to get started)Mt Pinos area is open and has some fun trails there.

Agreed, Miller/lockwood closed. Talked to mt. Pinos R.S. couple weeks ago, no set date until open, hopefully soon.

OK guys, Is there a definite plan yet?? now I see some area,s are closed..and are you guys in the valley/Simi leaving here and caravaning up there or just eveyone meet at Flyin J? Really hope to make this run ..Calico was great but I didn,t get to meet as many as I would have liked to, but I remembered their rig,s from photo,s on here..like Kodiak Spirit and Crash but I don,t remember meetin, probably did though was fueled up in the evening..LOL..Let me know what,s up OK Josh..Thanks Geeb..

ok I called them too late. I will call tomorrow to see what is open. BC109 is up there as well as the mount pinos trails we usually ride. We can also try the back way to frazier mine road. I am pretty sure there will be some trails open.

Hey Josh and Rick . . . What do you guys think the trails we ran last time are like now? I'd imagine the snow is gone by now, but then again we were just up there what 3 or 4 weeks ago and some of those spots were a couple feet deep . . . if there is anything left, it'll probably be ice mixed with mud like a :poop:slurpy! Better make sure you've got a couple winches:D That reminds me, I need to pick up a couple D Rings for my new bumper!

hey, could a stocker tag along with you guys??:cone::geek::cone:

no we dont want an orange rubicorn with us.....:omg:

fine, I will put the tarp on it....

fine, I will put the tarp on it....

LOL. of course you can come with us. It will be like old times only your still small. Anyways you can winch us all out with that fancy winch you got on the front.....

I dunno joe after seeing the final pics of your jeep are you sure you want that yukie stuff on it?maybe we should bring two tarps LOL..... Yeah, I'm good to go.

hey, could a stocker tag along with you guys??:cone::geek::cone:

Are you referring to your Jeep or yourself? Can't believe you'd ask such a question!:D

Hey are 97 TJ,S allowed on this run or is it strictly Rubi,s?? LOL,yep Joe your new rig is gonna get perty dirty I think..Geeb.

Anyways you can winch us all out with that fancy winch you got on the front.....

I'd rather not....it's merely for decoration... :8

I have been watching the thread, but still not sure where you guys are planning on going, What trail are you going to run?

Hey Joe whats the names of those trails we were on last time. the hill one and the others in that area. I cant find that map we got from the ranegr station.

I do believe these are the three trails that are clustered together . . . Here's a pic of the main trailhead:

Pleito Creek Road - 3.5 miles, Steep challenging four-wheel drive road down a deep wooded canyon. Dead-end route.

Salt Creek Road - 3.5 miles, Steep, four-wheel drive route. A dead-end route.

Cherry Creek Road - 1.5 miles, Steep four-wheel drive road down wooded canyon. A dead-end route. Ends at Cherry Campground.

I'm not sure yet . . . I need to measure the angle on my pinion/shaft and might need to do some fine tuning. I'd love to join you guys, but am a bit hesitant going prior to checking the angle . . . I don't want to be that guy!!!

I'm in!!! See you guys in the morning. For the record, Josh, Rick, David, and I are all meeting at 9:10 right off the 118 at DeSoto . . . right under the freeway. Hey Rick your eye is pretty damn good . . . that thing is as close as I think we'll get it . . . thanks for the tool, Josh . . . gave me a bit of peace of mind . . . you know I stress!:D Hey Geeb . . . hope you can make it!

We'll have to do another poser shot at the trailhead so we can see the how far all our Jeeps have come since that last pic . . . that wasn't all that long ago, but lots a changes:D

Had a great time today...thanks for getting me out there guys! So what do you guys think about going to Lake Isabella and running Sherman Pass on Sat 4/26 and Freeway Ridge Sun 4/27? Can't wait to get back up there . . . fun trails, beautiful scenery.:D

Look at this guys.....:omg:

He lifts it, pulls of to the side of the freeway, parks it on some grass, snaps a shot and says he hit the trail!!!

I think he just made an appearance at the Flying J, like the car clubs do....drive all the way to a location, and park in the sun for all to drool on.

Ahh j/k....You know it looks great, but I have to give you :poop: for it.............cause.....ok....I am little jealous.......just a little.....
But I will continue to bag on you and your lift. It's part of the 'Jeep Thing' I contracted several years back :D
:8.

Damn David ,That,s too funny...I gotta say Joe not only has your Jeep taken a beaten so have you since your building started..the jeep does look good...where,s the pic,s guys?? or did you all do photo,s at the Flying J??lol..Geeb..

Had a good time jeeping with you guys, nice trail just a bit over grown in spots ( SCRATCHED TO HELL ) . Joe can you still see out the windows of your soft top. I think my roof rack took half the forest with me....

Definitely added some pinstriping . . . hard to tell which ones are new. I had to polish and wax the hood anyway (thanks Josh:D), so I went ahead and did a mini detail session on the Jeep today . . . with a black Jeep, there's no avoiding the scratches, but she still looks good to me! I use Plastic-X or something close on the windows and it helps . . . does a better job on the finer scratches. It was good meeting you yesterday . . . hope to see you on somemore runs . . . Lake Isabella???:D

Isabella would be a fun run need to check when the trails open first,I think they will open sometime in May but not sure? I love those trails we ran and will go back up in a few weeks and do a little trail triming on the overgrown parts so we will fit without scratching up our rigs so much.

We should join a hummer board just for this purpose . . . set up runs thru their board the week before we plan to go . . . let them stuff those beasts thru there to clear out the brush!!! And give them a week to get off the trail:D

Those trail were a one time thing for me. I just wanted to see what was down there. Now that I know I have no need to go back down there. Anyways I looked at the aerial maps and those trails spider thru and go to other ones.

I think I like the hummer idea better...

Where do they spider off at? Is it at the huge fence system that we ran into? Or in the middle somewhere?...

I wanna see pictures!!!!

Are you sure your not looking at game trails, The only spidering I see is all over the side of my jeep.

Joe and Rick where the pictures man?????

I only snapped off a couple . . . I think Rick may have got a few.
