44 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | OCTOBER 2014 | SPORTS & OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
Our monthly trip is always the third Thursday of every
month. We meet in the north parking lot of the Lodge at 8 am.
We did not take a trip in August because so many members
were out of town; however three of the members, including me,
were camping in Big Bear with the RV group. We spent two days
riding the trails. One trail took us to the homestead of William
Holcomb. His daughter was the first child born in the Big Bear
area. William Holcomb also was the first person to discover
gold in Holcomb Valley which resulted in the gold rush of the
1860s. We also explored the John Bull Trail which we discovered
is a little too extreme for our vehicles, and we had to turn back.
Anyone who has a four-wheel drive vehicle is welcome. Most
of the trips are on State service trails designated as four-wheel
drive. We do not do extreme off-roading. If you do not own
a four-wheel drive vehicle, you are more than welcome to ride
along. Call Bob Cooper to make arrangements, or with club
questions, at (951) 769-6352. ~ Bob Cooper
