Re: 20240324 Full Moon Baldy Bikeaneering
What Taco said. Conditions were much more exciting than the last time , so the camera mostly stayed sheathed. The cold and the wind were just silly. We both started hiking wearing down jackets, and it was never too much. Like Taco said, the wind pushed the snow around a lot, creating flurries that I...

Re: Our Forum Has Moved
It almost sounds like you're asking for more free work :) I checked the import pretty thoroughly, and I'm pretty sure we got all there's to get. The missing/broken things I know about are mostly stuff that Tapatalk broke during their migration in 2017 (they weren't nearly as careful as you and I) an...

Re: The Fake Mt. Fuji
I put some pink ribbons at the pole of inaccessibility, and the sun bleached them white in a year. If these are still orange, maybe they're still recent? Could somebody be doing some maintenance over there?

Granite pass boulders
A few years ago Taco, Danny and I did a glorious bike ride through the Mojave . After watching the sun set from the Kelso dunes, we started a cold and never-ending climb up to Granite pass, followed by a FRIGID night in a ditch, off the side of the road. Much later I found out that we could have ins...

Pisgah lava tubes
This past weekend Sondra and I headed to the Mojave, to spend some time in the desert before it gets too hot. First on the agenda was to check out the Pisgah lava tubes. I've known of these for a while, and would make a mental note to visit every time I'd race past the lava field on I-40. We finally...

Re: The Fake Mt. Fuji
Nice trip! Did you walk the old fire road back to henninger? It passable through that whole section?
You found a potato bug. Terrifying if they get into your house, but mostly harmless.

Re: Part way up the West Fork of Bear Creek
Cool. Looking forward to more trip reports from that area! I've seen much of the West Fork bear creek, but I've never been up the main branch of Bear Creek above where the trail comes in, and clearly I need to get out there.

Re: Part way up the West Fork of Bear Creek
Pretty! How far are you planning on going when you come back? Any particular goal? I've been up to where the main channel of West Fork Bear creek turns N, but I think AW has gone much further up. It's wild back there.

Re: Kagel Canyon rd: access
Oh, and the assessor used to have the owner names and tax payment info on the website, but they now omit it. I believe the info is still public, but you must go to the office to access it, or get it in some other way. Caltopo pro accounts get a "parcels" layer that includes the owner names...

Re: Kagel Canyon rd: access
Yeah, I did that! One of the links in my post is that. The assessor doesn't have separate parcels for the roads, which makes me conclude that the roads cannot be private. Is that right?

I just biked another tourist race. Didn't take many photos, and there's a lot less to say about it than the last time. But I did go to some new-to-me places, and have questions. I entered the forest on Kagel Canyon Rd . This is paved quite far up, and feels unlike any other area of the mountains. Th...

OSM is the dataset used by everyone who isn't google or apple. It is publically sourced, and doesn't suck everywhere you can't sell advertising.
