There is a rumbling in the air from @MrWiggleBottom and his buddy Luis about a Friday 10/24 outing around 3N34, North of Lake Arrowhead off the 173.
Not sure if that will be the trail or not, but something around this area?
If you are itching to get your Grenadier onto some local Southern California trials and can be spontaneous given the short notice... always fun to have crew of Grenadiers!
A short description 3N34 from Trails Offroad:
A few miles north of the mountain lake community of Lake Arrowhead you will find Willow Creek Jeep Trail. This trail is amongst a network of OHV routes in the San Bernardino mountains in the San Bernardino National Forest. As you travel across this trail you begin to notice the forrest environment on the south slowly fade toward a hinting desert landscape on the north. This is most prominent as you pass 3W13 (waypoint 9) and turn to the north. Along the trail you will make two creek crossings ; willow creek and little bear creek. Both crossings are over concrete-slab fords. The east end of 3N34X (way point 27) offers the most fun of this trail for the adventurous offroader. This rutted, rocky hill was fun enough for us to run it up and down.
Willow Creek Jeep Trail is the west end of the Crab Flats OHV trail, 3N34, in the San Bernardino National Forest, north of Lake Arrowhead. When this trail is run from west to east, it leads into . Willow Creek can be combined with , , and for an overland mountain trek across the San Bernardino mountains with minimal pavement contact. This trail is mostly easy, with short moderate sections. Though some sections are marked as black diamond ratings, a moderate blue is more accurate for these sections and an easy green is accurate for most of the trail. The short section of 3N34 between waypoints 14 and 15 is also known as Ash Meadows Road. The 2.5 mile long section of 3N34 from waypoint 17 through 24 is also known as Squint Ranch Road.
