Hi Jake, Sure turned out to be a magnificent day to ride around Big Bear. Maybe next time we can meet and swap TE511 stories Rocky did a great job keeping the group together

I bet it was a great day....sooo bummed I missed out. (An unplanned trip to Arizona...without my Husky!). We should totally meet up for some riding! And I would love to compare notes about the bikes.

Please keep us posted on the next one, or do you guys have a website you can point us to?

I will definately keep you posted on here...Rocky and I have been discussing diffrent ride options...it looks like we won't do a ride in July (to many people on vacation elsewhere) but we might do a night desert ride in August...High Desert thru Joshua Tree Nat'l Park maybe...something fun!

Zipped around the desert first light last Sunday before the deserts heat reached into the 105 deg. Explored a few new trails! Looking to explore some additional trails this Saturday 8/24. Any Locals up for a quick morning adventure?

Ok. I've been Pioneertown to Big Bear, and I've ridden the Johnson Valley area. So where would that be from say Camp Rock Road, Soggy Dry Lake, Anderson??? Thanks...

 

[Desertyucca]

I would be happy to show you the route sometime?

Easy Route is New Dixie Mine Road from Landers. About 6.4 Miles up the road make a right.
More technical route from Giant Rock Landers area Mikiski Blvd will run you up into a trail system that runs along the base of hills, cant miss the only jeep road that will also take you up.
Rattlesnake Canyon I heard was closed on some 4x4 forums. I have not tried?
From Burns Canyon the trail is technical with lost of Rocks.

Old Camp marked on the Map you have to hike about a 1/4 mile from the wash. Interesting History.

Followed another BML designated Route Marker today. Took me to a place with a great view.

Soggy Dry in the distance. In fact you can see most of the entire Johnson OHV Area from this location.
