Re: 'rescued' hiker spent 10 days at Switzer

Re: Vincent Gap to Bighorn Mine to Prairie fork and back 11/14/08
It's a Mooney M20. I was just there. And in my previous life a pilot and mechanic.... I did some quick research on some sites i kno, but interestingly found no info. Earliest "graffiti" date inscribed I found was 1977. Anyone find more info, please elaborate. https://eispiraten.com/images-...

Have to love the dirtballs who tore down two of the three cement barricades that were erected to the side of the gate, huh? Personally, I wish they'd keep that road closed forever.

Re: Have you ever seen a rattlesnake in Icehouse Canyon?
I saw one two years ago just past the saddle on the way to Cucamonga. He was curled up on the trail but not aggressive at all. It was actually kind of weird. My guess was the temps were so cold that he was lethargic. Either way, don't let snakes keep you from hiking. Give them a few feet of space a...

Re: Mine Gulch via Vincent Gap trail
The trail from Vincent Gap down into Mine Gulch is easy to follow all the way to where it meets the Prairie Fork. From there if you're continuing further down the East Fork, you're on your own, but navigation is obvious through that stretch anyway. Thx Mc! I owe ya one. http://www.offshoreonly.com/...
