EISPIRATEN

After Zuma and Newton Falls I continued chasing waterfalls and mushrooms the next day in OC. I joined two friends hiking the San Juan loop. Both had never seen the falls. So I was more than happy to lead them on another adventure. Surprisingly, I found quite an array of mushrooms and lots of new spe...

I've been chasing waterfalls, and I've been on a quest to find mushrooms since the last rainstorm. This past Wednesday I hiked with my crazy Wednesday group to Zuma and Newton Falls. I was really excited because I've only witnessed the dry falls from the trail above. Also, I've hiked this trail many...

That was very nice of you Taco to help look for Bob.
Nice trip report.

More shrooms!

I'm on mission to find more mushrooms and I found plenty. I met some friends at 8am. It was 46-degrees and we were prepared. There were 9 stream crossings. Pretty easy to cross, only ankle deep with the exception of one. The trail was very lush and green. I was overwhelmed with the amount of mushroo...

Where did you get the girly mask?

Chicken lol

Good call!

Here's some more fungi

Last week Sean and I hiked to upper Eaton Canyon via Idlehour. We hiked from sunrise to sunset. Not bad for a 12 mile hike. I was on a mission to find fungi after the recent rainstorm. The canyon did not disappoint as we were surrounded by a lush green forest with overflowing streams, mini waterfall...

Nice!

On Saturday I hiked to Mtt Mooney, Stoneridge observatory and Vetter.

I found the first print by Mt Mooney.
The other on the road by Vetter.



I'm pretty sure this is a dog

Nice pics! I will have to go up there for the sunset.

Found these last Sunday while hiking by First Water in Sierra Madre witches brew

Beautiful trip. I really wish I could travel. What's a tapir?

That's not all you found!

Awww too bad we missed you

Wish I knew about that other peak.

Awww I didn't see the survey marker!

I did this loop in October the following week after Sean took me to Lawlor. I should have done a trip report but I forgot. I led my Wednesday hiking crew on this adventure not knowing what was ahead of me. It was also my first time going to Barley Flats from Mt. Lawlor. I had been to Barley Flats ye...

On Sunday, Sean and I got up early to do some hiking. The plan was to hike with him to Idlehour Camp and then hike back solo. We started at the Pinecrest gate then hiked up to Henninger Flats for a short break. We continued on the Mt. Wilson toll road. I was very excited because it had been years si...

It was cold I just took the jacket off for the summit pics lol

Looks like you guys had fun!

I invited two friends to hike with me on Thanksgiving morning. Both of them had never been to Stoddard peak. I didn't check the weather and surprisingly it was cold with 45-50 mph gusts of wind. At first, I didn't think we would make it to the peak but we did. As we were hiking up the road we came a...

I like the pose. If you want to escape from the crowds next time hike up to Mt Deception. Lol
It's very secluded.

BTW nice pics.

Take care of yourself. Nice to see you getting outdoors.

Looks like a cool hike. I always wanted to do Owens Peak.
Next time you are by Indian Wells, check out Five Finger. I did this with a group a few years ago.

I enjoyed the pics!
