OUTSTANDING!!
Since you'll be coming in from 101, you may want to convoy with Ron (he's somewhere on 101). I'm sure he'll check in soon.
The trail head is somewhere in Big Bear (you enter from Gold Mountain warm up trail). It should take you about 2.5 hours (takes me that long too from South Bay). Whenever the drive starts to drag on, just think of all the cool pics you'll be able to post. Heck, you'll prob be the first H3 ever at John Bull!

Wilfred & I will prob convoy. Perhaps we can all meet at
Big Bear Tourist Center? (can't remember if you need to buy the park pass for day trip -- but if we must, that's where you can get em at).
9am ish? Ron?
Bring food, liquid, energy bar/ drink (4 hours NON-STOP ROCKS -- YEEHAWW!!

). Gloves too (did I mention rocks?). CB to BS, and camera to shoot the "HUH??!!

" faces when the heavily-modded drivers see us in the middle of the trail..
(Other H3ers, remember, you MUST have u/c protection to survive JBT!)
