We had a total of six trucks for this run. 4 H2's and 2 H3's. We ended up running a handful of trails up in Big Bear. Most of them were easy, 3N02 had a couple challenging sections on it. But they weren't too bad, actually were fun. We ended up running up to the the trail head of John Bull to check it out for the members that hadn't been there before. The Gate Keeper has drastically changed since we last ran it, which is suppose to be the hardest part of John Bull trail. Most of the large boulders at the opening were gone. We watched a couple Jeeps go through with very little effort. From there we ran back down 3N16 and found some nice puddles to play in. Spent some time at one of them. We had a few members that needed to leave early. From there Jrwid, Nacho and myself decided to go back and run 3N02 the opposite way from the first time. Then we decided we had to do it again, lol. The only carnage for the day was Aamco's antenna(again) and I had an issue when airing up. One of the valve stem cores wouldn't release so I changed out the tire.

Now for some pictures, mine are limited. Hopefully some of the others will post some up. Serge was filming, but we all know how that goes getting the videos posted.

This was suppose to be a snow run and technically it was, at least in our minds

One of the jeeps running through the Gate Keeper. The rock in front of his tire was the only obstacle to get through.

I sure miss wheeling up there. I'm bummed I didn't make this trip but I did make major progress on getting my Land Cruiser back on the road this weekend.

Really sad I missed it.

Did a day of electrical repair by making a new harness and then dropping the truck down to Tustin by 5pm :(

Very nice pics and great looking trucks! :thumbs: Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. And you even saw a little snow here and there! I hope to make it down south some day soon to check out the terrain. :)
