The Slash X Run
As we expected the turnout was small due to the weather. Rick stuck his Cherokee on Means Lake. All five dry lakes we encountered were very much full of water. Rex missed the boat and took the high road back to the cabins. The remainder of the expedition left means and crossed Melville Lake without incident.
The flats on the way to Soggy Lake were washed out and impassable. From on top the small dunes, some folks call them the razorbacks we picked out a route that left us south of Johnson Valley open area on what I have to assume were CSA roads.

In Case You Didn't Know...
It’s a matter of record. The Supervisors expressed reservations about the workability of OHV Ordinance #3973 at its adoption hearing over three years ago. But, they heard no opposition at that time so they agreed to give it a one year trial to see how it would fly! (Video available from Clerk of the Board)

Friends of Giant Rock find ordinance change acceptable.In August of 2006 the San Bernardino County Supervisors enacted OHV Ordinance 3973. After hearing many arguments against the staging permit, which requires a $155 permit from the county applied for four to six weeks in advance by property owners who would have more than nine persons at their property for the purpose of riding an OHV, The supervisors agree that personal property rights and invasion of privacy may be an issue and agreed to look more deeply into the validity of a staging permit requirement for individual family’s use of private property.

Friends of Giant Rock Annual meeting came off without a hitch. A little drizzle in the morning made the hot dogs from Mustards Last Stand taste even better. Thanks DanO, we all enjoyed some chow after the meeting.
All outgoing officers Chris Miller, Mark Lanham, Kim Minyard and Jim Minyard were on hand to pass the lug wrench, and will carry on to assist the not so newbie’s.
