Ok this is a New Year’s Day Tuesday January 1[SUP]st[/SUP] trail run into the San Bernardino mountains, the meeting place is in Hesperia CA, the road starting point/ Trail head for this run is Bowen Ranch Rd and Roundup way in apple valley CA, going up Coxey Truck Trail NF 3n14 to Horse springs Campground, depending on weather time etc. we can stay there and return or may continue from there to big pine flats and return. This route can be done easily with a normal 4wd, I have been this way before as the main road to get to the trails, but not in the Deuce and there is a couple turns that may be tight with the big truck trucks hopefully all it will be is a few forward revers numbers to get through I did not have a chance to Prerun, this is what I see as a fun day drive trail ride for the new year with our trucks all are welcome should plan on 4wd also as it may snow today and Tuesday 50% chance, sunny for Sunday, Monday, Temps will be highs 32-40 deg lows around 15 deg that’s what’s forecast.
Meeting Place is K-mart in Hesperia 16968 Main Street, Hesperia, CA 92345 , I will be in my m36a2 deuce and a half shouldn’t be able to miss the green truck in the parking lot.
Time meet at K-mart between 6am-7am 7am roll out.
For fuel planning The distance from the meet place in Hesperia to horse springs is approx. 20 mi one way approx 15 mi being dirt and forestry road to go to big pine flats area would be an additional 6mi approx, so total miles to be safe fuel wise plan between 50-60 miles atleast round trip from the meetplace.

to get a bearing zoom out and it’s the second campground down from the top by Rattlesnake Mountain, then to follow the route back to apple valley follow Coxey road NF 3n14 West to the North to Bowen ranch rd etc.
San Bernardino forest fees 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 Pass required, and at the campground if using it as a picnic area I think your supposed to pay for a camping day we will see how it goes as we won’t be camping.
Passes info here: http://www.fs.usda.gov/main/r5/passes-permits
Please post if your going and what you will be in so we can watch for you at the meet place.
So far here is the list in attendance:
*Blendmaster2002- Me and my Dad in my m36.
