EISPIRATEN

I've been trying to keep this on the down low, but now you know the real reason I've been out of pocket for awhile.

Sunglasses found at the little-known "Tujunga Ponds"
The fishing was lousy, but my sunglasses were broken so this was a clutch find.

Nice peak bagging trip. Cool pics.

I walked up to Monrovia from Monrovia Cyn Park 16+ years ago...

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...

I know this will sound a little like a trip report, but i don't really intend it that way. I made the pilgrimage to Owen Brown's grave Sunday afternoon. Instead of parking at the end of El Prieto Road and walking up the road, I started in the Arroyo Seco, went up El Prieto Canyon, and then backtrack...

What a hike! I found your swag up at rabbit peak a while back when exploring the area myself. thumbnail_IMG_0303.jpg thumbnail_IMG_9442.jpg Cool to see that a group like this exists! I also ran into the owner of the Monte Cristo Mine who gave me a nice welcome and offered me a ride to the base of ra...

Thanks for the welcome! Glad to be here. I had come across some trail reports on the site before, but finding the stickers on an out-of-the-way peak like rabbit convinced me to register an account and post!

Sean and I made the long drive to the trailhead for Stepladder Mountains (DPS #94, 2940') on Friday and camped. Well, Sean set up a tent and I slept in the truck. From highway 95, there were 17 miles of good, then bad dirt roads. The powerline road was smooth, the pipeline road not as good, and NS25...

Thanks, Tekewin, for planning and leading this hike. It was a nice challenge, and tons of fun. Because of my various health issues, I tried to take a less rocky, less sidehilly route back to the car. I had studied the landmarks earlier and figured I could at least get within view of the car. But thi...

Why separate? What did I miss? No disrespect intended. The direct route from the truck was very rocky and went through some annoyingly deep washes. Sean was looking for a path with fewer rocks and obstacles since his feet were starting to hurt. The mistake I made was assuming he had the track and c...

Someone left this wagon near Stepladder Mountain...
Now it's Tekewin's...when he goes back and hauls it three miles across the desert to his car.
