I was PM'ed by a guy "johnrunner89" that is on the old site who needed to be shown around the Silverwood/Arrow Head/Big Bear area. Being it is late Fall early Winter I thought as long as the weather was good we could get a ride in. Sunny and 42 deg was good enough. I asked him about riding experience and that normal questions to make sure it wouldn't be a rescue mission. Come to find out, 1) He put himself on a 99 YZ250 for a first learning bike a year or so ago. 2) His brother (twin) decided he would like to ride and picked up a 02 YZ250 for his first bike half a year or so ago. 3) Dad had never ridden dirt bikes, and he had rented a CRF230 for the day for him to ride. So, Sunday 12-11 I met up with him, his brother and dad at the Micky D off of the 138 and 15. I showed them the map of the place and figured the Dam would be our staging area also handed him 6 DBA stickers to insure he had a place to hang his hat. This would give dad plenty of seat time on the fire road before the first 50" around the sewer plant. If he can clear that than he can do all the 3W trails around Pinnacles. Our destination if all goes well, "Devils Hole".
Not too many pictures but good enough for a light RR and to get his family names out as "Good People" to be with.
Staging area shots:
These are the three Amigos, Martin Sr., Martin Jr., and John.

T1 on my CRF230F
John has a blue tooth communication devise that he and his brother usually use but Martin Jr. gave his to dad so John could keep an eye on his dad and give him pointers on his riding. This is the turn before heading up and way over Silverwood Lake. John and dad:
Corinne telling me in hand language she is having fun:
More to follow...

In some places there are rock gardens. Here is Sr. coming through the last part. I stopped at this point because I was watching some (5) quads try and get through a ice bath. Puddle that was about 60' (ft) long and full of Ice cubes from all the 4X4 traffic.
