More details on the proposed winter Baldy closures.

Howdy All ? I have a problem when the "authorities" want to limit access to our mountains. San Bernardino County Sheriff Dicus wants legislatures to close Mt Baldy during unsafe conditions (e.g. snow). https://local.nixle.com/alert/10257319/ ... sVbzMXsa_4 How do members of this forum feel...

Howdy all ? Warning — some piece of ? tried to get into my car at Vivian creek TH yesterday. I couldn’t lock my car or set the alarm last night. The ?? broke off a Slim Jim in my driver’s side door. I was parked at the top in front of the sign. Getting a new lock. There was nothing of value in my ca...

I've been calling shopping carts "mobile homes" for quite a while -- this is luxury mobile home.

Howdy Rico, Wonderful trip report and photos ? ? I've been fortunate to hike the JMT several times and recognize the landmarks. I enjoyed, "We missed that turn and continued for a bit on a well-worn use trail that follows the eastern edge of the tarn. We ultimately realized our error when the u...

Yo Taco ?

You STUD! ? Loved reading your TR ? as always.

Howdy Tekewin ? Thanks so much for your TR. Due to fire and subsequent trail closure, I haven't been up Fish Creek since late June 2011. That was also my first and only summit of Lake peak ? We were able to drive to the TH then, thus an easy day compared to your hike. That shortcut gully looks tempt...

Howdy Jeff and Vickie ? Thanks for your (always fabulous) TR. Sally, Marilyn and I can totally relate to your XC route from Dry Lake to Dollar Lake. Sally calls HJ's Glacial Chop Country Chaos. My description is much less kind ? (insert profanity here). Even in snow, "moraine land," is a n...

I found these yesterday and now they're in my City of Riverside recycle bin.

I found this Ground Fog at Poopout Hill and now it's mine!

Howdy Ben, Great job on a very strenuous route. Back in late winter 2015 (pre-Lake fire), friends and I went up the right side of Xmas tree hill (as shown in your picture), up the Jepson bowl to Jepson, then over to the saddle between Charleton and little Charlton. Route finding in the snow from Jep...

Howdy Ben,

The signs indicate a backcountry ski route. How was the snow and what equipment did you use?

Howdy Dima ? Thank you -- I "misspoke." Yes, I am referring to the canyon that tops out between west Baldy and Baldy. Howdy Cucamonga Sean ? Thanks so much for the beta and for your and your team's trail work. Also appreciate the background info on how "Goode canyon" was named. M...

Howdy All, A friend asked for a GPS track for Good Canyon to where it connects with the Ski Hut/Bowl trail. Seeing as how I've only nailed the route twice ? (and don't have a GPS track for the recommended route), I defer to Cucamonga Sean and David Enfuego. I can copy and paste a track from this for...

Howdy Richard, Sean and Hike Up -- thanks for the comedic relief :-)

Awesome Sean LOL

You STUDS Good job!

No traction needed for Ski Hut/Bowl trail, Devils Backbone and Bear.

Priceless Cucamonga Man, thanks

Sally and I hiked up Bear to Baldy on Easter to honor Sam. I was fine until I saw the beautiful tribute to Sam on the summit plaque (flowers, photos, hat) -- then I started crying. Once I collected myself, I saw Chris Simpson and Sonja Koebnick quietly honoring Sam. I congratulated Chris on his Snow...

Wonderful Jeff, thanks 8)
