    Awesome. My friend told me to check out Big Bear too. I'll definitely make a weekend out of that in the next month.

    When I figure out when I'm going I'll let you know for sure

    Careful with Holy Jim. More times there are a lot of high schoolers doings stupid stuff. I've had a couple close calls there.

    But I can make it through Holy Jim in my stock prerunner so you'll be fine.

    And the area at the beginning of Holy Jim, where the fun stuff is, is on private property. I've heard of nails and other stuff being dropped out there to discourage wheeling.
