EISPIRATEN

This is the summit of Eagles Rest. I had to wait for my friend to send this one.

Peak 6000

Start of the climb to ER

I found this cool hat at Ice House Saddle.

Continuing with my Whitney training, yesterday I hiked to Mt Baldy via Register Ridge trail. I'm giving myself credit for reaching the top of the ridge faster than the last time I was there and summing Baldy quicker too. I've been struggling with trying to go faster and it's really depressing so yes...

Congrats on conquering Eagles Rest and Antimony. Another one in the books. Hope you found the register.

Thanks HikeUp. Everytime I've been there it's a little challenging with all the ruts and overgrowth.

I believe Abe A and his crew have been working on the trail.

Nice! Beautiful landscape all around.

You look like an old lady

It was so nice to see everyone!
Looking forward to the next adventure.

I found this cool rocking chair abandoned by the creek. Jeff fixed it so now it's his.

OMG did David really post a picture?

This morning Jeff and I checked out Chantry Flats. We really had no specific trails in mind but we were both excited to see Sturtevant Falls. Thank God It wasn't crowded. There were only a few cars in the parking lot and a couple of bikers. As we descended the newly paved road, the first thing we ob...

The owner of the Mine near the Monte Cristo area has offered to give us a tour November 9th. If you are interested in going let me know so I can send him the list. He will open the gate and we can drive up instead of walking to the mine area I had posted this in Hidden Springs but someone blocked my...

Thank you! I got my permit but forgot to ask about clamshell Anyways, they were so nice. My permit is good for 6 weeks. I got 3 combos for the gate for every two weeks they change it. I can go more than once if I wanted to maybe some peeps from the group will want to go with me. Thanks again! I'm ex...

Last Wednesday, my friend picked me up at around 530 am and we headed our to Ojai. We had intended to start hiking at 730 am but we had made several stops along the way to get breakfast and other necessities. We finally arrived at Rose Valley campground just before 9am When we arrived it was a chill...

I had received a personal invitation for a tour of the Monte Cristo Mine from Lars the current owner. Last Saturday me, Ed, Jeff, Dima & Matt met Lars at the locked gate by the Monte Cristo campground. We followed him in two cars. I've walked this road many times but driving on it was quite a di...

Whoohoo I went yesterday.
Report report coming soon.

So after reading Tekewins report on the Rincon road I got my permits to drive the Rincon road from Glendora Ranger station (by the way is very nice) Anyways, they gave me 3 codes to the gate so I have access until December 14th. As Tekewin said the road is nice. Some areas are smoother than others b...

Carl- we did drive to Spring Camp. I can't recall if there was water. I did see someone camping off the road. We didn't hike very far down that road.

That area looks nice with snow

I've been helping one of my Wednesday crazies accompliish the Sierra Club HPS list. Last Wednesday we scheduled Mt Lewis. Since the road was closed to Dawson Saddle we decided to walk up the road. I was also curious about the progression of the construction. We started around 8am. There was only one...
