The OSM geometry comes from the "Los Angeles County Cadastral Database", so maybe some other govt agency knows where everything is. The data is here: https://dpw.lacounty.gov/general/dgn/ Looking... I pulled the cadastral data from the county, and.... it says that stuff is exactly where t...

Prior to this I thought the assessor lines are correct by definition. But if that were the case, the ranch buildings are definitely outside of their legal property. So like yall say, maybe this hasn't been worth anybody's time to actually go and fix. The OSM geometry comes from the "Los Angeles...

We just went to Alder Creek and skirted Lummis Ranch . I wanted to get some details about the specific locations of the property boundaries, and came across something strange. Here's what the caltopo "parcel data" layer looks like, overlaid with the OSM map: osm.png Note that The location...

Thanks for the stoke, Matt. It's contagious! The route we took on the way in worked ok, but it wasn't "good". The gully got steeper and more brushy as we descended. Eventually the brush got really thick: https://gal.secretsauce.net/travels/SanGabriels/2024-06-23--alder-creek-crag/R0006380....

The caltopo fire-activity map doesn't show any hot spots anymore. I guess that means that it's burning very lightly at the moment, and now's the time to go try to squash it. Probably.

Does the fact that it's a wilderness area change anything about the firefighting effort?

It's not your fault this thing is picky. Making it less picky is much more work, unfortunately. Sorry.

I'm not sure what you mean. I just added another url-style tag called "latlonurl". So you can do this: To get this: Mt. Wilson

I guess we can keep both.

I CAN trivially make it url-like. Do we want that?

I added the bbcode to one of your earlier posts. Worked ok, after I removed the space after the comma. Definitely ot a big deal, but it'd be nice to have clickable links.

I would guess it's something silly like extra spaces (no spaces are allowed in the tag). Making this work despite the extra spaces is too much work.

I'm an idiot.

This "feature" is kinda half-assed, and that's the fundamental problem here. Can you point me to the edited post?

Excellent! Your efficiency is inspiring

It's from SlowestHiker! If she's around, she can tell you all about it.

Here's a "baldy zoo" photo from a few years back:



It almost looks like the conga line at the Hillary Step, right?

Fellow eispiraten! I just added a custom bbcode to make latitude,longitude pairs into clickable links that route to caltopo. So instead of typing 34.123,-118.456 you can type [latlon=34.123,-118.456] And you get this: [latlon=34.123,-118.456]. Clicking shows the link in caltopo, with some hard-coded...

I don't think anybody is comparing this (Taco: we need a name!) with Yosemite. But it's infinitely closer, and has infinitely more exploration potential.

I THINK I want a bivy? I've used a single-wall tent in the past, and never had a condensation problem. Was I getting lucky?

If a bivy doesn't solve condensation, then what problem does it solve?

I'd like some suggestions here too. Getting tired of waking up under a dew-covered quilt

This Sunday, after a nice night at Deer Spring camp, Taco, jeko1034, Ali and I went to climb a crag on the West slope of Hawkins ridge. This would be a first ascent. Taco and Jeko1034 checked it out earlier, and I don't know the details of the planning; they can comment on that here, if they want. A...

I biked over to look at the start of this recently. There's a fancy-looking bridge over Big T (apparently it's a "Bailey bridge" . R0005788.JPG And the trail start was marked and looked non-abandoned: R0005791.JPG David: so the whole thing that connects to the Strawberry Potrero is a new r...

You just started this thread in the "Flora and Fauna" group. Did you want its own group, like "Flora and Fauna", but separate? I'd prefer to have fewer groups, so I'm not excited about splitting this out. Is that ok?

For the register box!

That's fantastic! Thanks for exploring and writing the report. Mind sharing a track?

Roughly 14 mi, 6700ft gain or so. Terrain is rough, so this is a much bigger day than going up/down the trail on the S ridge. It's a good loop; I don't know about "best" though. Try them all!

Some years back I summited Iron Mt via its SW ridge, approaching via Allison Mine . I haven't been doing as many of these sorts of trips as I used to, and I've been wanting to reassess my fitness level. So yesterday I teamed up with Wes and Jeff and Gautier to repeat this route. We walked up the Eas...

Thanks for the report, and glad you were able to complete the route. Where's the area with the trail work? Up to the saddle from the start?

That's hilarious! It would make all the difference
