2017 SoCal Summer Rally Aug, 4-6 Big Bear California San Bernardino Mtns. camping

[FASTNOVA]

Thanks to Blendmaster for putting this on we really appreciate it. A great place to camp out, lot's of good food, but most importantly good people. If it weren't for the people that show up to these events it wouldn't be as fun.
Here are some pictures of a truck that was harassing us on the trail run.

I don't know, I think Prospector needs to make the giant jenga just a little bigger...

Those are some sure enough fancy doughnuts!

I think Ahab will like this, maybe some of the others will as well.

Had so much trouble uploading this, not sure why it stuck to 360p even though the video is 1080, oh well.
It's like 3o+ minutes long, but the video is sped up 4x as fast, so that says we were out there for over 2 hours, NICE!!

Great vid! Nice soundtrack, too.

I haven't scoped it all out yet, taking it in bites. Pretty country.

Are all those pine trees out there all the same kind, any idea what species that is?

Most of the pine trees were Ponderosas. We also had Sugar Pines. Their cones are 12 to 15 inches long.

Very cool.

You don't see any of those two out on this coast. I'm not sure if either of them even grows east of the Divide.

Ponderosa Pines smell like vanilla:

Excellent video NF! That sure is a cute little jeep bouncing along in front of you.

I'm glad Armytruck63 knew, cause I have no idea, just pine trees to me.
Don't really have them anywhere near me at my elevation, about 400', these are up near 6-7,000'. I believe our campground is at 6200.

I know the video is long and there would be no way that I could see anyone watching it in real time.


Ahab, thanks, the music is all royalty free, I get it from a website called Machinimasound. It makes it easier, especially for YouTube or even Facebook, since you can buy a license for fairly cheap and not have to worry about any copyright claims against you and your video being pulled.

I wonder who that could be, if I only knew.....
