EISPIRATEN

Good update LAR. Thx.

?

Bobcat Fire closure order set to expire April 1.

Anybody hear that the FS intends to extend it further? Being the good, law-abiding citizen that I am, I want to make sure I don't violate the order. That would cause me terrible distress.

Cool report David. Gorgeous country. That fruit and vegetable market near your place looks awesome.

Hmm. Seems his remains were found near the Panorama Loop trail. But his car was originally found at the Juniper Flats trailhead. That's quite a distance away.

I suppose this can be characterized as a cairn. On the summit of Pine in 2013.

Nice outing boys.

The Fritos thing has me in severe distress.

Yes. Stay away from the snowy mountains for your own good. White=bad.

I'm scared now. Hold me mommy.

24 hours and a room at the Alpine Tavern just to climb San G. Man, you really had to be dedicated to hike back in them days.

I usually wear mid-cut Merrell Moab 2s. They are reasonably-priced and durable enough I suppose. I've had Oboz and Keen boots before which are super comfy but their durability is shite.

Legit. You have a flair for story-telling taco man. That's money coupled with your adventurous exploits.

Write it man!

Huh. I thought Occidental would be behind Markham.

Here's a pic from the Pickens Spur water tank looking east toward the Markham saddle.

What is that peak sitting in the middle of the saddle? Peak 4583?

Awesome

Wait. So how do you get back to Temescal from Will Rogers? Is it that trail the skirts that Marinette neighborhood to the north?

Do you have a sense of whether this had more shade, but it all burned down semi-recently? Or is this just how it is? I know this area burned in the Woolsey Fire (2018), but I believe it was mainly coastal sage scrub and grass before then, so my sense is this is just how it is. There are some big Sy...

It's been awhile since I posted a TR. On Sunday, I decided I needed to get back into the swing of things, but didn't want to go inland because of the heat. So I headed for the coast where I thought it would be a bit cooler. It was, but not by much. I wanted something longer so I settled on the Zuma ...

Oh man, this isn't what I wanted to read this morning. So sorry David. I've enjoyed your reliably entertaining TRs and hiking with you and your boy. Fingers crossed that it ends up being way more than 5 years. Stay strong my friend. DM me if you need anything. ?

Others took a pic of this, but here's the marker atop Gobblers Knob

Another bit of good inspiration was Cecelia bringing chips, salsa, and guac for afterword. That was the best!

David, send trip reports from Chiang Mai.

A few more.

So fun. Thanks for organizing.

Grilled cheese sammie on Wright was an awesome bit of inspiration.

Nice outing boys. Surprised to see that much water still flowing.

How's the road in?

Last weekend, me, my kids, and a couple of friends were fortunate to spend a couple of days/nights in Yosemite. We originally had planned to do a section of the Tahoe Rim Trail, but then the Caldor Fire ruined that plan. Our back-up was Jennie Lakes, but the KNP Complex fire torpedoed that option. O...

Good stuff Taco man. Entertaining as hell as usual. Hope your taint is ok.

Monrovia Canyon indulging your foot/leg fetish.

You pretending to be a forest nymph in the Arroyo Seco somewhere in the vicinity of the falls.

You're just above the entrance to Ice House giving cars the thumbs-up as they head to Manker.

Whew!

Several web sites suggest grizzlies are occasionally spotted

I didn't realize that there were grizzlies in Colorado.
