6.5 THE REDUX (2021) SAN G FAMILY REUNION

yeaaa...gonna be a desert family reunion

 

@BLKTRUCK you might need to skip over the #6 and never speak of #6 if the camping and trails don't open in a few weeks. Feeling optimistic that they open back up the week before though.

 

I feel confident they'll open back up on the 17.

This is the States way of making sure there are no gender reveal parties near Big Bear this year.
Some rain in September would be helpful.

 

Maybe I’ll just head your way

 

BLM, National Park or private property are gonna be our only options if the closures stay in effect, which let's be honest, unless we get some CRAZY rain, it's not gonna happen with the La Nina. We're set for a very dry winter.

BLM is better because trucks but worse because no developed campsites are gonna be available for a group this big. We need to get a backup site in the works or start preparing for next year's re-redux.

I might actually have to start a bacon business and ship out the goodies because we won't be able to do it in person.

 

It would be pretty cool to hit up BLM

 

Either way I'm going camping the weekend of the 24th

 

We could do Deep Creek Hot Springs at Bowen Ranch. BLM land adjacent with trails for driving around.

The only problem with BLM are no restrooms for the ladies...and by ladies I mean you @kasnerd.

Stoddard Wells is an option. we can make a run up to SlashX for a snack.

 

Lytle creek fire is 50% contained. Let’s hope things keep looking up.

 

Im out. Havent canceled my spot yet. Prob dont that tonight

 

I knew it

 

My trucks probably down for the next 2 months. Then we go on a chilitown shakedown run to break it again! Lmao.

 

Rugged radios sent over
Stickers, koozies and 2 radios.
The radios are for the raffle and the koozies and stickers are giveaways.

 

I'm getting asked if the site is going to open, I believe it will.

There are many positives.
The staff is still working maintaining the campground while the state closes all the forest for two weeks (not just Big Bear).
They are continuing to sell sites for the week before our trip.
With the forest closed for two week there's less of a chance of a fire starting near Big Bear.
There are no current fires in the Big Bear area. I believe the Lytle Creek fire is 100% contained.
We are in September, so it should start getting cooler, we just need some rain.

I feel confident we'll have our trip as planned.

But I'll continue to call the Rangers and get weekly updates.

 

Checked the ol' lady into the maternity ward today. Lookin like the little dude will be here the last week of September, maaaaaybe first week of October if the docs wanna roll the dice on leaving him in the oven that long. Fingers crossed this event still happens so I can spam the 'refresh page' button and live vicariously thru the pics.

 

last week of sept / first week of oct? Plenty of time to still come out and have fun. Bring her with ya! Haha!

 

take her down a trail next weekend and see if you can knock the lil one loose...my dad did this with my brother and I. Gentle car rides starting near due date. Didn't work for me, I slept in for a week.ha.
