Whooohooo cross country!!!

Wow! Thanks for reminding us of all the wonderful things we've seen and haven't seen. I'm interetested in exploring more mines.

Sweet! where is this benchmark located?

Wow! looks like the boys had a great time. Sorry I missed it but I will see you on the next one!

How about Mt. Wilson from the Sierra Madre?
I have been to Mt Wilson many times from different starting points except this one and then we could eat at the Cosmic Cafe

Thanks

It was a fun hike with beautiful views all around

Haha! He loves picking up trash from the trails

Like I said, no American man has ever scored with a woman at the Carpinteria Bluffs.

WOW!

Rumpled wrote: Great write-up. Hopefully, you both scored.

FYI no Sean didn't score! lol but it was a great hike!

Hi David,
I've been wanting to bag Divide Peak. Do you have any pictures? I would love to see them.
Thanks

Me too!

Why wouldn't I?
Thanks for letting me know ahead of time

iI want to bag Divide Peak!

Something like that!

I don't think so

I met with my usual bunch of crazies on Wednesday to bag two more peaks in the Los Padres National Forest. We met at the intersection of Pine Mountain Rd & Hwy 33. From there we drove one mile onto Pine Mountain Road 6N06. We walked a very short distance where 3 trails meet and we headed up the...

complain to admin or the big cheese SG

After a several year hiatus, I recently made a return visit to Santa Paula Canyon in the Los Padres. Cool place that has unfortunately been marred by graffiti bandits. Haven't gone beyond first falls so perhaps the tagging dissipates the deeper you go (anybody know?). TR and some pics here: http://...

Thanks,
That's one of my favorites also :q40:

I read that whole page, but I still don't know what the prizes are.

AMS can strike one time and not the next. We take the herbal supplement gingko biloba starting about a week before going to altitude. And aspirin the day of the hike. For some reason, I think aspirin works better than the Aleve and Advil products. We never made it to White Mtn before moving out of ...

I've found that aspirin helps with AMS. For this outing, if you'd popped 2 tablets at Westgard Pass (where White Mtn road splits from CA-168), and then 2 more the morning of the hike, you might have got through. Since everyone responds differently to altitude, you'd have to test this to see if it's...

Two weekends ago, I attempted to bag another 14er, since I am on a mission to bag a few favorites. I successfully climbed Mt. Langley, so White Mtn. was the next obvious choice. I heard different comments on how hard it was versus how it was the easiest of the 14ers. Nevertheless, I decided to give...

On Sunday, my friend Bob and I decided to check out the new Ken Burton trail that opened up a few months ago. We met at JPL and started the hike on the El Prieto Trail making it a loop hike of 14 miles. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/2081292/IMG_8388.jpg The El Prie...

Thanks Hike up

Did you ever make it to the Rock Garden?

I agree with Mr. Green, those pictures really capture this beautiful area.

Thanks for the TR
