3N93 Pre-run
On Friday, October 10th, Nick and Barb (USMC0369) and myself (RAT) did a prerun inspection of 3N93 in preparation for the October 18th run, which is building up to be the biggest yet. We met up at the Ranger station, spoke with Greg Hoffman for a bit, during which Greg called in and confirmed that he will have a full size bulldozer at the West end of 3N93 for us Saturday. This is great news as this will make short work of the last two shelf areas needing extensive work. …read on…

On Saturday we hit the trail at 8:15am and headed for the gate on 3N14. We arrived at 8:45 and opened the gate. At 9:30 everyone had arrived, prepped for the trail and Nick had a safety meeting. We arrived at the Holcomb Creek crossing at 9:45am. With 24 MJR-ers present, I’d say it was a GREAT turn-out and I thank you all for helping me reach Nick’s goal of 300(+) hours in one day! …read on…

MJR AAT group had another great turn out to work on 3N93 (Holcomb Creek) on Saturday, Aug. 02, 2008. We met up at the Ranger Station on Hwy. 18. We got to the trail head around 9 AM. The first thing we did was inspect the illegal motorcycle trail that had been blazed some time ago to get around the water crossing at the East entrance to the trail. The barriers we placed there in previous trips were in place but are inadequate to stop determined bikers. We found fresh motorcycle tracks in the mud there. We’ll have to come up with another idea. …read on…

Tom, Katheryn, Chuck, Alycia, Aaron, Cody, Braden, Max, Sarah, Rick, Julie, Kevin and Nick met at the ranger station on a very chilly and overcast Memorial Day weekend. Those who came up through Running Springs saw snow on the ground! Despite the fronts coming through all weekend, the trails outside of Fawnskin were just damp enough to keep the dust down.

At the time of this report, Holcomb Creek Trail is closed to the public due to damage from the fires of 2007.

Nick, Barb, Doug, Tracy, Russ, Rick and Sarah met up at the Ranger Station Saturday morning with a goal of removing an old Bronco located approximately 1.5 miles down Holcomb Creek Trail. If you’re in suspense as to whether or not our small team was successful - we were! Upon approaching the gate at 3N14, we found two other jeeps heading away from it, letting us know it was locked.

At the time of this report, Holcomb Creek Trail is closed to the public due to damage from the fires of 2007. Escorted by the US Forest Service, we volunteered 311 hours in an all-day effort to begin trail repairs. Here is what we accomplished.

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the picnic to hang out with us - and thank you to all MJR AAT’ers who put in hours this past fiscal year to give us a third place award for the third year in a row! One of these days when we can get back up on our trail we’ll plan a something-er-other to celebrate.

This was the most interesting day on the trail yet. We met Brian, Chris & Tam, Julie, Jesse & Tori and Doug and Tracy at the Big Bear Ranger Station to grab some tools for the day ahead. It was a good thing Doug recommended meeting there too, because there was a mega yard sale going on in the triangle.

Ran up to the peak on Friday, July 27.
The bottom sign pointer has been bent around quite a bit, we straightened it out but it appears like someone tried to bend it back and forth to break it off and it twisted up a bit. The 2N84A trail up is in great shape.

Tracy and I spent the weekend at Yellow Post 5. We picked up all the trash within 100 yards of camp. On 2N84B we moved a downed tree that was blocking the trail. We hid 3 new geocaches. 1 each at the end of 2N84 and 2N84B and 1 not too far from YP5. …read on…
