EISPIRATEN

public (government) debt has never been a real issue (it's at healthy levels) and has always been the biggest red herring for both parties to push their agendas. Federal government debt isn't a problem. The federal government can make all the money they need. They've been doing this with the "...

This is getting way outta hand....... Pay your taxes, vote, obey the laws, while we screw up the nation......yep the things I was taught, like For the people, by the people.....is not what they are doing. Boston Tea party time if you ask me my opinion. Lock and load, the crash is coming. IMHO. of co...

Thx mtn, I saw it in a website related to boy scouting....theory looked kool. Originated in Borneo......from what I read.

If I get one made soon, I'll give a heads up on it..

An interesting, new article from KCET's "Departures" titled "The Indigenous Dawn of the San Gabriel Mountains." Controlled burns to encourage the growth of edible plants. Not bad. http://www.kcet.org/socal/departures/sa ... tains.html Why anyone with that purty a feather knows t...

My bucket and stuff still there? Lol. I have a few items over that way I need to get, some ropes are still up high too.

Didn't think it would open....b there next week. Prolly head in from VG tho...

Yeah...it was open. I parked at Guffy and ended up staying at Cabin Flats due to bowhunters at Lupine. Not my vibe. Also saw a couple of vehicles past Lupine which, according to the Forest Service, is off-limits. I asked a ranger once why they didn't at least have a sign saying it was a closed area...

....no harm taken

Great shots......

Stupid shit....oh I'm all over it... Lol. Ain't that the truth! As I get used to the site and players I find more interest. I'm keeping an eye on any seminar type stuff you may do. While my days of falling off rocks with a web harness and beaners at Joshua tree in the late 70's is afar cry from the ...

*** SPOILER *** . And an opinion is not a "spoiler" it's my point of view, but as said before "opinions are like assholes, everyone has one" don't be a hater, to many in this world like to point what I term " The Finger of Shame" at others, so as to alleviate the need ...

Well put Z, while I agree the story line of the show is great, since the Harrison Act of 1912, the general "War on Drugs" has been pounded into the minds of the American people. I find that part ironic, not the show itself. It is a well told story. I for one am of the "sex drugs and r...

um, No.

Did I miss something? What is it about then? I'd like to hear what you think its about.

huh? make what? I usually make a mess............ 8)

Kool info SH, finally got a dozer in there sounds like. It's not normal for the FS ranger I talk to to leave it open, so hopefully will be till first snow anyway.

Happy trails.......

Funny, I'm not condoning or judging anyone's choice or my own, or the fools that are the subject of this thread, but I don't watch a lot of TV due to my gypsy lifestyle ( although I found I can get a signal when up at GUFFY and watch criminal minds nonstop on ch 30, wit my puter) lol . But while her...

Kool pics...looks like a great spot. When I grow up, thats what I want to do , if my ole body lets me!

I'll run into one of you sooner or later. I'm headed back up around second week Oct.

Came across this on a website...




Anyone have any experience using one? Ima gonna make one and try it out next trip.



Non sunt quaestiones. Modo solutiones

Give you all the kudos! Ask me your protecting the animals from the "flat landers", not the opposite. Fainted and cost us what? Let alone the use of scare resources someone else REALLY may have needed. You guys do a great job, glad to ugh.... "meet" ya! Great group here, learning...

That sounds like me after a good bender...... :lol: But seriously, makes sense. The impact on the animal is prime importance, I've never had any encounter that I would term Life Threating, but had a few, that are always interesting. No animal wants a confrontation, normally, but will fight to the de...

It almost looks like the back of an ear tag in the lion's right ear. I'd be real interested if it was. No, we've zoomed in and checked. This is a female, middle of the San Gabes. Are there any with ear tags here aside from the male you got this spring in Glendale? Yeah, as I looked at it more the h...

Thx Mike.....stay curious.

Great work and pics....I ran into a set of lion tracks on my last trip in. In two fairly displaced areas, made me think it was two different cats. Never saw them before, so that's a good part of the work done to preserve the beauty of them. Question. I was just reading Mammals of the San Gabrials by...

@rock.... Here are a couple of pics of one of my Daniel Winkler axes, made for the Teams. This, and its companions, are not on his website. The blurred area masks an amazing artistic image crafted *in* the damascus itself; other images you may find on the intertubes of damascus variants of this brea...

I make fires from time to time in the SG's, but I'm a high speed low drag operator, trained to kill.

first comment is funny rest got me rolling lol

Found another tunnel down low on the very bottom of Mine Gulch, west face of rock wall, right at point that stream from vincent gulch hits the turn south of Mine Gulch if that makes sense, at about 75' up, trail long gone, fractured rock, falling apart. Hidden behind big yucca tree, looks interestin...

Kool Bob...thx. I've always wondered.

Toodles.....

Ah....that sucker word. Never knew why, thx for heads up, Tracker. I just thought I decimated the population....whew that was worrying me. Did run into a couple lion tracks on way in, two different places in Vincent Gulch, never seen them before. I have some pics I'll get up, you can verify for me. ...

@longcut....got a chuckle on reading your signature. Brings to mind that world famous guy thing that goes .......

"Watch This" which is usually accompanied by some pain at some point..lol

Happy trails

Having tromped the East fork since I was 16, some 40 yrs ago, I've seen many changes. I'm now back after a long hiatus and one thing that I noticed that was an eye opener was the lack of native trout up high. Was a time you could put 10 in your creel and eat like a king, but again overuse and the me...
