EISPIRATEN

I'm doing a bike race in a few days. As part of the route planning I just went to check on the conditions of a few routes around Oakwilde. Here's what I found. First I wanted to see the condition of Red's Shortcut. This is a connector I've been to several times, none recently . It was also described...

RE: the flick, true story, guy forges land grant deed, he and wife leverage to take over nearly all of Arizona territory. One of the best Vincent Price flicks, and a great non-stock western. I watched it! Thanks for the tip. I kinda think the description of the real events is more interesting than ...

This report cracks me up. I had to do some digging to get even the slightest idea of where you went I'm guessing that Pickens is one of the bumps along the road from the fire station to Mt Lukens? Which one?

There was a problem with the previews of some images showing up sideways or upside-down. I just fixed it, and all the previews AND downloaded images should now look right. If it's still broken, or if you now have new problems uploading images, PLEASE tell me.

Nice trip! I haven't gone that way for a year or so. By the way, there used to be a level trail from Telephone Flat to Idlehour camp. It was built by one of the cabin owners in the 1930s or 1940s, I think. I tried finding the Telephone Flat half of it a few times, but it appears to be completely gon...

Nice! I've wondered about that ridge above Royal Gorge. Can you see down into the river from there? Is there any sense you're above a "gorge"?

Lots of guy lines for old towers. Some very old beer cans. Some very old juice cans (both apple and orange). A pretty sweet OLD metal canteen. Nobody has been up there for a long time.

I found a few missing posts, and re-added them. Should be good now.

Wait. Aren't you a spammer, Rubio?

I'll check it out!

The tapatalk board is still there, but it's locked down, and will not be updated. If you find anything broken with the new board, tell me, and it will be fixed.

I didn't. But it's over an hour long, so can I get a TL;DR first? Are there mines?

Also, it looks like you added tags around the youtube link. Try to edit your post, to do what the lazy person would have done: just paste the link without the extra tags. You might be pleasantly surprised.

The various county GIS websites are a gold-mine of information about gold mines. 8-) A long time ago I scraped all the plat maps I could get from the county DPW site . In case that ever disappears I'm attaching all of these to this post. These have the really old mining claims and are medium-useful ...

Oh yeah. Lonnie actually does have an account here. With a single post about how he doesn't post.

I miss seeing the banner and the easy access of the most recent posted hikes. When will it be available? There's no satisfying you people! :) Banner is medium-broken right now; will be fixed probably next week. The quick links are a good shortcut for the new posts. Also, the unread forums/threads/t...

Wait. Is this the "LD" that used to post here? His posts on this forum stopped in 2011.

I have a satellite rescue beacon thing, but I was a good boy, and bailed before needing to use it.

Would having a capable partner changed your mind? Definitely. Being able to talk about it would have made this a different situation entirely. I just looked at some of the old reports, and they confirm that I was doing fine on time. LD's old report even talks about the big headwall where I turned a...

Not that long ago I would do big trips through the mountains. In the last year or two I mostly switched to trip-report-inappropriate mountain activities, and temporarily put big days aside. But plenty of areas remain unexplored, and I just went back this past weekend to do a thing. Things feel very ...

There's even another one: https://omny.fm/shows/howtola/trailbuil ... cast-mix-1
They're on some sort of publicity blitz!

I think I saw the same guy two weeks ago. He wasn't doing well.

Here's a radio piece, about ANF trail maintenance. Nothing we don't know already, but still interesting to hear about it on non-mountain media.

Looks like a great time! Sorry I missed, it, but I was conducting important forum business from my couch.

The top of Williamson isn't peaky, and those bumps aren't noteworthy. There are some cool airplanes there

Thanks for the report. Looking at it from Little Jimmy, it looked like it burned pretty bad. Glad to see it's still somewhat delightful

It's almost like bears like that place

Fun! Where did you start? You go to Cadiz, and then drive on dirt for a bit? By the way, you were by the Trilobite quarry. Check it out next time if that sounds interesting.

Oof. You've been there? How did you approach?

Where's 5495? Did you mean 5995? I've been to that one.
