Six of us joined Wayne Purcell's church group for a day exploring some new trails in the San Bernardino mountains. We followed the group to Coon Creek Cabin and over to the Heliport for some great views. Then we left the group and our three vehicles took the more difficult 1N37 back. We wanted even some more challenge so I had heard that nearby 1N38 had an even better challenge so the three of us took on what we ended up calling "Rocky Horror Hill" where it took the right amount of pressure on the skinny peddle and lots of wheel spinning, rock throwing and dust to make the top. All these trails are just off Hwy 38 not far from Barton Flats. Here are a few pictures: What's wrong with this picture? ? you can ask Matt...... Here Fernando does some work on his ZJ at the top of Rocky Horror Hill You're have to ask him about his new and shocking Shock design, Here the guys are all on top of the "hill" Thanks, Fred Explorer 1

We found this great "test" hill we ended up call the "Rocky Horror Hill" Here is Matt's first try. It's much steeper than it appears in the video. And his second successful run: Thanks, Fred Explorer 1

This rocky horror hill is on 1n38 (heart bar peak)? I didn't see any tough climbs up there a month ago. I recall just a climb to a left turn about a mile or so in. Then a great view of San G and sugerloaf area.
Now you got me wanting to go back! Lol
