EISPIRATEN

I ride my MTB up BStar fairly often and have seen most of theses sights. Though, I've never gone to the falls - though my daughter has taken my dogs there twice. Lots of legends and myths of the area. I think the bus legend is one of those. Some reports have it that one of the property owners just h...

Great write-up. Hopefully, you both scored.

What? No mention of the helo crash on Baldy?

Wow! That was a nice buck!

Those safety fences appear to the most dangerous things there.

Used to be one here under teh underpass along the creek.

Climber musta worked in a nearby building.

Does the camera have a green light on it?
If so, they are sailor kitties and following the rules of the sea "Red, Right, Returning"

I had a friend used to work Mt Waterman Ski Patrol.
Some evacuations can be done running lifts backwards slowly.
I do think sometimes lines need to be strung - that would take many hours.

I liked the mouse or whatever scurrying away behind the lion.

Sorry, this was for 2010.
Good luck in finding spome.
I do believe the NPS is now doing refills.

Tasty Chuckar!
They are more prevalent in the desert, and tend towards the higher, rockier areas.
I've seen them pretty high in the Tehachapis/Southern Sierra.

In my 3 years of following various stages of AToC, on most roads you can drive in a few hours before the rolling closures and find yourself a parking spot off the road and wait. You can always walk or ride a bike past closures until just a few minutes before the race comes by. I'm debating to go to ...

Santiago Peak is something like 32" for the storm, 45 for the season.

Those guys who spent the night were stuck in the car overnight from what I read. That's not so much of an emergency.

I just read she got transferred to San Bernardino NF. She'd get to screw up another one of our local forests.

Where's the ACME map?
Otherwise, very nice report.

Good fatherin' there, HJ!
Now, just teach her what a good beer is.

Horseshoe Meadows is not too far and I think they have one night camping for free.
The portal also has a hiker's camp, I think it's real cheap or free.

What's with Crystal Lake? 39's been closed for forever and they've been working up there and still more to go.

Lands under NPS supervision have many more restrictions.
No hunting, no bikes, more permits, more closed areas....

I am against further wilderness in this area. Give us a third option; I am convinced I'm afainst it. Most of these pro Wilderness arguments mention that NPS will have more $ and resources and this will solve the problems. Like magically, the diaper droppers and spray painters will stop. If this were...

4 Half Dome Permits for 8-28 Available for Free In case you don't know; you now need a permit to hike Half Dome on Fri-Sun and holidays. I have 4 such permits for a dayhike on Sat 8-28; but due to something about a messed up thumb, won't be able to do the hike. I didn't have any buds lined up for it...

Notice that huge alluvial fan out into the desert?
Yeah, there's been some big floods.

I've said all along that USFS didn't commit to the Station Fire because they were already committing to the Morris Fire.
Looks like that opinion is being proven.
The sham investigation is a travesty.
Heads should roll, but the wrong ones probably will - as usual.

Ze, that seems much worse than mine. My "plate" is about 1 cm by 2 cm and paper thin. I just like saying "plate in my skull".
I got the pin out today, so just the screw anchor left in.
This is getting to be like the galley scene in Jaws.

Nice one, norma; I like it - Crumpled!
It's not a game I was trying to win.
Not sure I did either, some of those breaks look pretty bad.

I wasn't sure what area fit this, so it goes general. In case you don't know; you now need a permit to hike Half Dome on Fri-Sun and holidays. I have 4 such permits for a dayhike on Sat 8-28; but due to something about a messed up thumb, won't be able to do the hike. I didn't have any buds lined up ...

Maybe I should join the crowd. Did this tagging a guy out playing in my beer league softball game in late May. Notice, I did say tagging him out - I at least made the play. Hurt a bit and after the swelling went down, I couldn't move my thumb. Complete tear of the UCL (gamekeeper's or skier's thumb ...

Yeah, Sharky's seems to have a good review there.
I wonder how slow someone would be going in ludicrous mode?
I also like that backpak quip.

I have read that CA griz's also were associated with Tule Elk, their prey; in the great marsh areas that was the southern San Joaquin Valley.
