Hey guys, so we've been wanting to go on some runs, but I still have the stock Trailblazer so I can't do anything extreme.  And yes, Azusa is too extreme.  Whats coming up that a TB could handle?  And I don't have money to modify the TB so please dont say lift it or anything of that sort.

honestly I agree, azuza is easy once you get to the big empty areas, but the rocks going there make it a mean ride. I've got pics where the water level is really high too and people were just getting stuck in the water crossings

don't **** with azuza

Why don't you guys do gorman? seriously, when was the last time there was a gorman trip? and there is all types of wheeling there

we're up for anything without boulders, hydrolocking water crossings, or 3+' deep mud pits.  i've never been to gorman or clegorn.  how is it?  and we're free almost any weekend.  we just need a couple weeks advanced notice cuz we're getting married in a couple months and most of our weekends are being used to make plans.  you guys can call me or text at 562-665-1223.  And in case you forgot, my name is James.

there's been a few cleghorn trips

cleghorn is not bad, great scenery. most places have bypasses, although there ARE a couple in the beginning that might be tricky for a trailblazer, so keep that in mind

gorman is up on the 5 north through the grapevine, its a huge OHV area with different type of trails and stuff

I wouldn't mind coming down for a gorman trip.  That'd be pretty cool

I won't do Gorman... that place is cursed! I have never had a good trip there, lost an alternator once, same trip hydrolocked a Jeep, have crashed the quad everytime I've been there, same with friends, every trip somebody or something gets wrecked. That place freakin hates me for some reason!

Cleghorn is cool though... lol

Yea, I've never totally got why people call it Gorman when it actually is Hungry Valley SVRA. I guess it's the same deal as Pismo, it's not Pismo its the Oceano Dunes SVRA. Must just be easier to say the city name. Whateve.

Gorman or HV is cool, but too far to go of an easy trail for me.

I am down to take who ever wants to go to Holy Jim trail, it is super easy and there is a creek where we can cool off.

gorman is the city/street name, what's wrong with calling it that

gorman brings a lot of good memories for me actually, so I love the place but the last time I've been there was with Spencer on the way back from Miller Jeep Trail

sucks Jason

blazer its past Pyramid Lake off of the 5 north, in the grapevine

Nothing, just odd when you stop to think about it...
