EISPIRATEN

Hiking in the upper 90s isn't really safe for anyone. Your body needs a way to cool to 98.6 when exerting itself (generating internal heat) and if the outside temp is near 98.6, body cooling can't happen efficiently or at all if higher. Light color clothing including hats, cooling vests, hiking umbr...

Glad to hear the trash was cleaned up on the peak at the old fire lookout.

If the helicopter activity this morning is any indication, it appears he wasn't very far up the ridge from where he had started when something happened. I know people complain about InReach, but I use mine in really narrow canyons and it still does a pretty good job. I hope everyone uses something t...

Rest well, Colin. Peace to you and your entire family, Ian.

Little T, Gold Creek, to Sand Cyn to the intersection with Placerita Cyn rd checked - not found, not in Kagel or Lopez cyns. Posted to WhatsApp too.

Sean, I will go up Little T starting from Foothill Blvd,

Do we have his license plate number yet? Can you try tracking his phone?

You're most welcome. I'm glad you found the trail and the experience a good one. I've been working on maintenance and restoration on the trails in this area for a few years now and I think they are coming into pretty good overall condition in spite of recent fires (Dec 2017 - Creek Fire.) Of course,...

Oak Spring has water all year round even in the driest years. It's a historic headwater of the Los Angeles River. It's part of the fracture spring network of the San Gabriel Fault that runs through Gold Creek.

The picnic area has been closed off and on due to high fire danger.

The jeep was there illegally, of course. None of these roads are open to unauthorized motorized vehicles. This is an on-going problem in the area.

Matt - I had no idea you were on the hunt for these things. Not sure if the attached images will help. Serial number from a wing part.
