I backpacked in San Jacinto with a backpacking class at school but I think we needed permits to camp there. About Astrocamp - my sophomore class in high school took a week long trip there and it was a lot of fun. Tons of activities and such. Looking back it seems like a good area for trails.

I hope you send them pictures from NORBA. You know, the downhill run, the podium... the post-ride (shirtless) beer.
