SoCal check in

In the past we've used the Discovery Center or the Ranger station on the other side of the lake -- less crowded, lots of parking, and not in the middle of the village (which can be a nightmare on a Sat). The trail head for Gold Mtn is somewhere in the area of "A - 10" on the lower map including Baldwin Lake (select directions and maps, then select the printable version).

We could meet at the trail-head -- there's lots of room to park/air down if I remember correctly, I have a topo program so I could post the gps coordinates. It really doesn't matter to me -- just trying to stay away from crowds.

Ron, anywhere you say is fine, since you're leading the run..

Please post address (my GPS don't do topo cords).

Wil, I'm using CB.

CB for us too

[RonB]

why don't we meet at the Discovery Center -- parking, restrooms, hookers, maps if you want them. It's on 38 about 5 or 6 miles before you hit the trail-head (between Fawnskin and the Stanfield cutoff). The Ranger Station is a 1/2 mile or so farther east on 38 (I only say this because I have adresses for both, but gps coord. for the Ranger Station only).

The adresses:
Big Bear Discovery Center
41397 North Shore Dr (HWY 38) 909-382-2790

Big Bear Ranger Station
41300 North Shore Dr (HWY 38) 909-866-3437
approx gps coord. -- N 34deg 15' 48" W 116deg 54' 03" (deg, min, sec)

Gold Mnt trailhead/HWY 38 -- approx N 34deg 16' 28" W 116deg 49' 10"

The time is up to you guys. Bring your recovery gear, tie-rods, and take off the side steps or the trail will do it for you!
