Just reserved # 7 at crab flats, and will be there somtime Friday afternoon.

Cool! We will be there either late friday night or early saturday AM, feel free to park a rig in #9 friday night so they dont give it away!

I wonder what they do when you have more than 2 vehicles???? ticket or warning???

i was wondering that myself, but dont want to find out!

ok, who else is going to be our neighbors?

How far is Hanna Flats from Crab flats?

I dunno, why? Whats the problem?

No one was pulling the trigger on the reservations, so i went ahead and chose crab flats with RAYJON and we booked our stuff, hopefully others do as well. Hopefully i didnt offend anyone. But if i did,

It would be cool if we all have sites close to each other, i got a bunch of wood to burn!

Cmon Biff, come to crab flats with us, i promise i wont run around in my "Onesy" and scare your kids!

But to answer your question it looks like about 10 miles "As The Crow Flies"

hey, just an FYI guys, this group (http://www.ie4w.com/) - which is quite large, is having their annual Big Bear Forest Fest (ninth year running) up there that weekend so the trails are likely to be busy. of course in the summer weekends they are always pretty much busy but just giving you a heads up. I'll try to get up there if I get my truck back together by then. if not, have a great time

Thanks

OK, so what's the latest on what trails you guys are planning to do?

(FWIW, somebody who knows the area well was just telling me that the crab flats area is not as nice as further East)

 

[e9999]

oh, and what's the gas situation?
no need for cans, I imagine?

I was planning on talking with people to set something up. I figured we could start with the Holkom Creek trail which is suitable for all but the west end where we start has a pretty rocky section but there is a small loop that those without rocker protection or the urge can take around and meet back up to continue the trail together. From there I was thinking we could tackle the John Bull trail and select something milder and split some off if there is an interest.

Most of the activity has been on the site booked thread. I will post this trail info there and we can see what everybody wants to do.

The Crab Flats area is not as secluded or nice as other areas up there, but it has easy access and with everybody coming up at random times it would probably work out better for this trip. I am not an expert on the Big Bear area just fairly familiar. If you have a good reccomendation from someone who knows the area very well I would love to know it for next time.
