EISPIRATEN

Jeff- yes!!! Awesome idea. Many years ago when Sean and I hiked this route we bumped into Uncle Rico. Since then I've been there twice.

Really cool! I wish I could explore more mines.

A few weeks ago I was leading a group hike on the Mt Lowe road.

To my surprise in the middle of the road was a cool tripod. Who knows if it was dropped by a biker or hiker but it still had the carabiner on it.

Nice pics. There is also two benchmarks by the rocks.

I'm a very lucky girl!

Have fun! I just hiked this area a few months ago. Happy Birthday Jeff.

We found this abandoned building off the highway surrounded by Fall colors.

Last week Missy invited me to spend two nights at the Calpine Lookout located in Tahoe National Forest. Calpine Lookout was constructed in 1934 by the CCC. It was actively used until 1975 and stands tall at 5,980 ft. The Lookout was very cool. We were surrounded by tall Pine trees. It was very seclu...

Are you guys doing Mt Gould?

Yeah, and there is this ...the best swimming hole in the whole state..wow! https://sportssd.iheart.com/featured/er ... alifornia/ OMG!!! my hiking crew would definitely be interested. We are always in search of swimming holes. We are not afraid to go off trail. How hard is it to access? I've notice...

I hiked with a few members of my crazy Wednesday group to Strawberry Peak via the mountaineer's route. We met at Red Box, left a few cars there, and shuttled to Colby Canyon. Trailhead. The trail was in good shape. I have a friend who is currently doing maintenance work so it was looking very nice. ...

Thanks for the TR Jerry. I've been wanting to go back and was curious how the trail looked after the fire. The last and only time I was there it kicked my butt!

AWESOME!!!

Angeles National Forest Fire Lookout Association Sadly, Red Mountain Fire Lookout was claimed last night by the Fairview fire. Despite the enormous efforts of the multi-agency fire crews and aircraft. She held out until a large blowup during the night took her down. This is an incredibly sad event f...

I want to hike Mt Gould!

Your truck will definitely make it!

Anthony- like your friend I was wearing shorts and I didn't feel any pain until I took a shower then it stung like crazy.
Anyways, it is a very beautiful area.

Yes there was. Geo drank some lol.

Are you talking about Mt Gould by Kearsage Pass? I attempted it but was too exhausted to finish. This was a few years ago. I would love to go back when I'm in better shape.

On Wednesday, I hiked with my crazy Wednesday group. We met at Inspiration Point. Then we piled into 3 cars and caravanned to the trailhead by Lupine Campground. The gate was open and we drove down FR 3N39. The road condition: -It wasn't too bad with the exception of a few rough spots. -On a positiv...

Beautiful pics! Loved reading your TR.

I love it when the manzanitas shed
Tom Sloan trail

HJ True about the fires, much more to be concerned about now. I actually met jfr last year at the very smoky Kearsarge Lakes, I was heading back out and he went north. A couple ladies also turned around just before reaching the pass and I gave one of them a ride home to Pasadena. Did your neighbors ...

So morbid but cool!

Awesome! I attempted White a few years ago. My crazy carpool driver got me so sick from the Bumpy road. We camped by the gate. Needless to say the next morning I was too sick and miserable to hike it.

Congrats!

Congratulations! This is just the beginning.

Oh yeah, Where's the naked pic lmao!
