Re: Mountain bike ideas

Viper is a singletrack trail at the end of that ride and would be spicey with touring gear. Probably better to stick with fire road.

Re: Reporting pot farms

Following this as I have also found another recently active grow.

What if grow is up stream of a protected species? Would that kick off a clean up? Is there a way to find out if pot tax revenue has any "victim fund" to offset any perceived cost to society.

Re: Plane wreckage near Winston peak.

I'm thinking mid air collision because there is only the tail section. But the mechanical engineering of the controls is cable and levers not electronics and hydraulics. So that doesn't fit the f86 saber. This pic show what appears to be a seat. And again not what you'd expect from a military jet. h...

Re: Above Bear Creek

Not sure how this guy would have gone? To get to Triplets from the North and not take the route Walker is considering would seem improbable in the time he claims. And I wouldn't consider Walkers route an East ridge? If his East ridge to Triplets was accessed from the drainage I was in he would have ...

Re: Three points loop

I was able to stay dry. Every time I came to a new pool there was a different challenge to get past it. And yes I did end up with some PO! This section of LRC is untouched. Something that is unique anywhere, but especially given the proximity to 10 million people.

Three points loop

Started at Three Points at 530am just before sunrise. Headed north on PCT and to my surprise crews had been cutting brush for about first 100 yards of the trail. This is awesome as it's much needed. But what I couldn't see in the dim light was they had not yet collected what they had cut. 100 yard o...

True about the wilderness from Islip west to the other side of the tunnels. The one mile from there to eagle roost is indeed walkable and possibly my favorite mile in the crest area.

Thanks for the report on PVR. Good to hear that Alimony provides access to PVR as well. Like Tom I've been curious about changes in bike restrictions due to pct rerouting. If south fork to high desert to burkhart is now the official pct. Then would any portion of the former pct between Islip saddle ...

Check with Newcombs Ranch. I believe that I read somewhere they have a cabin/house for rent near the restaurant, Chilao area. Also Buckhorn ski club allows overnight guests in a communal lodge for a small fee.
