Taken yesterday from the North Backbone route (trip report coming soon):

Taco,

you guys ever try fishing the waters up there ? must be some great wild trout fishing in those waters..

The fish I've seen there are quite small. I'm not sure why it got the name "Fish Fork", to be honest with you.

So has anyone found a pot of gold up there yet!?





The amazing rainbow last night (followed shortly by an impressive lightning storm).

Plenty of pot and gold up there, but not enough short Irish guys for the two to combine. 8)

At the corner of Fair Oaks & Woodbury? Yep.

Very nice collection.

Very cool. Thanks Obie!

Obie, thanks for the visual of the history, the adventures and the great human accomplishments on those mountains! The Rainier climb without a rope and having to hold on on a moving holds is something else!
Way too many magic places and so little time to see some of them....... thanks again 666

Cool looking at those big baggy cargo pants, thick wool socks and rope that looks like it came off a tugboat.



Stylin' up high:

Good idea Mr. Bacon.

Great bird pics. Is that a red tail hawk eating lunch in your flickr collection? Looks too big to be a coopers or sharp shinned.

Hey, nice shot of Kimchi Ridge.

HikeUp, that would be an osprey.

Beautiful pics, Icybacon!

Ah yes! I've never seen one before so I was focused on hawks. Thanks!

That Osprey lives in Fullerton at a stocked pond, there are also a few along the coast and a pair has had a nest at SJWR in Irvine a lot.

Kimchi Ridge eh? Fitting name.

Osprey are also frequently observed at the 605/210 interchange near Santa Fe Lake and Dam.

Take a jump back to the past, to a time when JTNP was still "The Monument". Was a good time. Bought my first house in JT back in '97. Place keeps calling me back. Feeling nostalgic tonight.

Hello, I'm new here. I post a few videos of my country and our mountains.
Thanks for watching.

Believe in FPV

The elusive red ones, yep I'm not a botanist, that's the deer trail ain't it?



A peregrine? All the other birds thought so......me too.



Morning coffee spot. Happy Feet!




Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs

I think I photographed an Ent today.
