Okay folks, working on getting involved in the Adopt A Trail Program up in Big Bear, for the San Bernardino National Forest area.
They held a meeting on November 28th, 2012 that we couldn't rally at the last meeting to attend, but the notes were forwarded to me for posting;

We are currently looking at adopting Trail 2N02/Burns Canyon, which would provide access for all of our members to conduct volunteer trail maintenance. This trail was chosen as all of us (2WD and 4WD mild to wild) can access, and as volunteerism hinges on "the more the merrier" concept this was a good choice.
This is the popular Forestry Service Trail that provides access to Pioneer town from the west, Big Bear/Baldwin Lake area from the east, and at Viscera Springs access to the Rattlesnake Canyon Trailhead.
A great opportunity for SCCX to give back to and establish some credibility in the off road community!
We are still waiting to hear back on official confirmation of this trail, so please stay tuned!
PLEASE POST IN THIS THREAD and I will add you to the interest list.
