EAGLE REST, PEAK 6000 & ANTIMONY

Last time I hiked to Eagle Rest was in 2018. EAGLE REST & ANTIMONY I decided to re-visit these peaks because I am training, but not so much for the elevation as for the strenuous, steep, ass kicking to get me in shape. I met my group of 5 at the Flying J in Frazier Park. We caravaned to Tecuya M...

What's the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts?
Beer nuts are about 49cents and deer nuts are just under a buck.
Good one!

Mt. Wilson from Sierra Madre

I'm in training mode right now and on my list was Mt. Wilson from Sierra Madre. Although I've been to Mt. Wilson before from many different routes including Chantry (which is currently closed until 2024), I finally conquered this beast! I started at 7:45 am and was making good progress. I made it to...
