Joshua Noesser grew up in Southern California but has lived in different parts of the country during his young adult life. Josh was first turned to four wheeling when he road with one of his friends dad up Surprise Canyon in the Panamint Valley at age14. After nearly 3 different roll overs later and a half dozen intense waterfalls, Josh was hooked. At 16 he purchased his first Jeep a CJ 7 and by 17 was putting his first locker in it.
Currently, Josh is the owner and CEO of Nybble, an IT Solutions Company based in Orange County, California. Nybble isn't your normal IT company where everyone stays in and plays video games. Nybble's average company trip is out on the trails since a good amount of his staff enjoy wheeling too. As Josh likes to say, he offers the only IT Company with the ability to provide services in extreme locations. "If you want a server at the top of The Hammers, we will take care of that for you."
Today you can find Josh out on the trail behind the wheel in one of his three different off-road vehicles. See the vehicles below for more information.
If you ever run into Josh, please say high, he is a very friendly person and is always happy to have a new person join the group.

My Trail Reviews (24)
(within last 6 months)4N16 - Grapevine Canyon (11/28/2022)
Trail is washed out
Fissure Mountain Trail (11/22/2022)
I checked on the trail, the rating isn't changing as the trail hasnt' changed much. Note, going south is the easy direction as the sand makes going north much harder.
Going down the sand hill at the last waypoint is still the easiest way, just steep and scary.

Rumors of a fence being put up. Heard this from several people but not verified in person.
Turkey Claw - Johnson Valley (10/21/2022)
Trail is a little harder than normal.
You got to watch out for the sun right before sunset. Right in the eyes.
3N10 - John Bull East aka Little John Bull (10/07/2022)
Ran the trail after allh the storms hit the hills. The trail is in pretty good condition and sort of hard. Should be a great trip for almost anyone.
2N13B - Butler Peak (09/06/2022)
Not sure what is going on. I was up there on Sat and the gate was open as it was the week before. But quickly after the review stated the gate was closed. Not sure what changed or if temporary. But if you go, best call the discovery center first.
3N16 - Holcomb Valley (09/06/2022)
Drove the whole trail out at the end of the weekend adventures. The east side is rough while the west side is easier but still rough. Overall still easy.
3N10 – John Bull (09/06/2022)
A fun weekend on the trail. Did it once in about 3 1/2 hours. Then ran it again in a 1/2 hour.
3N69 – Gold Mountain (09/06/2022)
Ran the trail over the weekend. It was a good time like always
Someone cleaned up all the illegal bypasses. Hopefully, they keep it this way.
