EISPIRATEN

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has explored the portion of the creek that runs below Hermit Falls, near Chantry Flats? While I've seen many reports from ABOVE Hermit Falls-I'm most interested in the portion between Hermit Falls and the Reservoir/dam. Thanks! You can go all the way to the start of...

I checked out Shoemaker Canyon (Cold war tunnels) today and am wondering if anyone has found a way down to the EF San Gabriel from the trail? After the second tunnel, the trail gets a bit sparse and I was interested in running, not bushwhacking, so I didn't go too much further. It doesn't look promi...

I finally made it there yesterday for the first time. Still a good deal of water in the creek. And a lot of mosquitoes!

It is longer than the posted 1.5 miles from the cutoff.

So whats open this weekend? Pretty much nothing west of Mount Baldy. Hwy 2 "chains required" at La Canada Hwy 39 closed at East Fork Road...Bridge to Nowhere trail closed anyway Big Tujunga road et al closed. Sierra Madre closed High Desert closed What do you mean about Bridge to nowhere ...

I got a few frames with the momma in it, but it was before I cleaned the lens, so the stills here are of the cub. Probably 6 months old.

Well, now that I see it on a large screen , uploaded to youtube, the quality looks pretty much unviewable. I shot it on my iphone 6+, which was in my pocket, and due to the temps in the high40's combined with moisture in my pocket, the lens was fogged up. I'm on a new laptop without any editing soft...

deleted for poor quality. Screenshots a few posts down.

My dog and I saw a momma and cub mt lion this morning in Cattle Canyon. Not sure if momma got caught on camera, but the little one froze. We were less than 100 feet away. Glad my dog was on leash because she likes to chase things and I was glad we stayed together. Momma was not very big. Certainly l...

I don't use any of those services, but I could see a few local adventures where it would make sense to use a service to assist a 1-way trip.

Can anyone that does use them weigh in on what would be the most convenient to have someone meet you at an appointed place/time?

Speaking of beer, anyone seen Sierra Nevada Celebration this season? I'm striking out, and usually it is everywhere. I just picked some up at my local Stater Bros (Claremont). I'll toast to you next one I open..... I grabbed some at BevMo last week. But usually Von's/Ralph's/CVS is dependable for s...

What a cool journey! I'm sure I could find it, but do you happen to have a waypoint for either of the waterfalls pictured (Royal Gorge or suspected Long Canyon)? Sure. The suspected Long Canyon fall would be at its confluence: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/34 ... 9&layers=C I added the m...

Well, since BP sold to Anheiser Busch, I'm sure their availability will stay good......

I was fortunate enough to win Kern River's lottery so I've got some Citra IIPA in the fridge!

thats the saddest, grossest "river" ive ever seen. really sad. i cannot comprehend why you all think its cool. its super sad and horrible, its like a river thats been raped and beaten to death by concrete :( everyone who did that to the river should be burned alive. its a crime against na...

I had a friend get a positive diagnosis of Lyme from a tick she saved. It was near Gold Creek, a tributary of Little Tujunga.

She pulled the tick out, saved it, and had her doctor test it. Luckily, she is early enough to be treated pretty easily.

When the video is paused the bird definitely looks a mature bald eagle. What's the location of the video? I should mention that he thought Golden Eagle was the only other option. I was on the ridge between the closed portion of 39 and Smith Rock, overlooking Bear Ck wilderness. I've read there is a...

A birder friend of mine couldn't be positive but thinks bald eagle.



I was just trying to keep it in the frame.

And although it isn't anywhere near as nice as some of the more remote parts of the SG's, here is the section near the mouth of the canyon

There has been sabotage with nails on hwy2 also. My friend totaled his porsche and got a concussion. Found nails in his tire. Cops told him they are aware of it and are trying to stop it.

I found a grow site off the closed section of 39 just last week. Pipes going down to a creek with a bit of water. Bags of potting soil. It's certainly a bigger fear of mine than wildlife.
