Count us in.

Hey there Blendmaster, long time no see.

You can add three to four people and two vehicles to the we will be there list. Myself, my brother, and two friends.(one friend needs to make sure he can get off work)

We are coming with a M35A2c and a M43B1. Leaving the Flight Line Vehicle at home.

We will be coming in from Inyo Valley thru Hwy 247 and Rattlesnake Canyon Rd. Should be at the site around noon to 1:00pm.

Please PM me regarding the cost of the campground so I can contribute to what it cost you.

Regards,

Ok everyone the SoCal 2014 Summer Rally will be held in the San Bernardino Mountains, in the Big Bear area amongst the trees.

Dates: Friday August 8 through Sunday August 10.

Location: I have reserved/pre-paid for the Big Pine Flat Equestrian Group Campground, the Campground is ours starting around 2PM Friday.

The location has picnic tables, vault toilets, water, grills, campfire circles (campfire and grill use currently allowed, but is dependent on current fire danger I have to verify before leaving at the time of the event.) Clean up range nearby if open, like camp fires it varies due to fire danger.

We will be camping at the event, there will be truck drives, a whatever everyone brings Potluck Friday, Saturday I will be Barbequing for everyone, horse shoes, it will be a fun relaxing weekend away along with seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

Friday there will be a convoy starting in Hesperia then going up the dirt roads to the campground details below.

You’re welcome to attend the event, so come out and join us.

Be sure to bring plenty of fuel and supplies, including your favorite beverages.

Please Tread Lighly, do not park on vegetation and stay on established roads and trails.

You can go to the Campsite at any time during the Rally, just follow the directions below.

The event is Free, come out and have a great time, if anyone can and would like to pay toward the campground fees it would be appreciated.

Please post up if attending what you will driving and how many in your group.

Adventure Pass info Basically to drive to the camp ground and back no stopping no pass required if you stop along the way a $5.00 Day Adventure for each day a Pass is required or an annual pass can be purchased for $30 which are available at retailers such as Big 5 etc., and the Big Bear Discovery center. if going on any truck trail rides or the convoy it would be a good idea to have one since we will be stopping at points.

Put me down as a maybe. I have not kissed enough butt to get a definite yes from work. Let me try putting on some cherry lipstick before I go in to the boss's office prepared with duck lips.

I don't think it's an appropriate place for young kids, since some people will be drinking and I'm sure there will be some in appropriate words come up that kids don't need to here.
That is just me. I'm not against kids I have 2 of my own. But just saying.

I think the kids will love it. And I also believe that 95% of most adults watch the language with kids around. I also do not think that you will find anyone dumb drunk as they soon get the idea that they are not welcome when out of control with drink or drug.

This is a get together of a good bunch of people who would not want to make a donkeys rear out of themselves. We are all attending the event to enjoy each other and the hobby; not to get plastered or toilet tongued.

Just my two cents....
