EISPIRATEN

?

Well, y'all know what my guess is. ?

There have been no good explanations for why it remains closed.

The "we don't have adequate resources" explanation is complete bullshit. I don't believe California State Parks has any intention of ever re-opening this trail.

You're in Devils Canyon contemplating where to put your illegal grow operation.

Just to be contrary, you're on Waterman's west ridge and you're getting ready to go the grocery store in the era of Covid.

2nd year in the row that the deer hunt has been disrupted too. But I'm sure the State of California will do the right thing and refund deer tags fees (said with dripping sarcasm).

Fish Fork thinking "damn I'm a stud."

Or just ban idjits.

Well, I had to get a reference to Rattlesnake in there somehow.

You're in Ice House Canyon thinking about climbing Rattlesnake. ?

I'm just going to keep guessing Rattlesnake until I get it right.

You're wondering if anyone wants to fight.

Ok, then you're coming off of your namesake peak after killing that guy in the yellow cap/helmet in the background who is laying in the dirt.

You're on the 3 Ts trail wondering whether you left your car lights on.

Copter Ridge thinking "Fresh!"

Rattlesnake and you're thinking you're "Pfft, I can do this all day long."

You're in the E. Fork of Santa Anita Canyon and your state of mind is "where tf is my duct tape?"

You're in the Arroyo Seco near Bear Canyon and your state of mind is "where tf is my razor?"

This trail

Mt. Islip Trail?

I don't have any pics of cairns. Taco keeps kicking 'em all down before I can snap a photo,

You're in the Prairie Fork somewhere? Looking at Pt. 6025? Never been so just a wild-ass guess.

No clue.

Somewhere up the N. Fork of Lytle Creek looking west-ish.

Don't know for certain, but maybe CalTrans? LA County Public Works? Maybe the Forest Service?

Hard to believe that the Forest Service is oblivious to this. I'm sure Rangers drive that road every day. What in the hell do they actually do these days other than write tickets?

It's all yours Girl Hiker.

You're at the C-119 debris field looking back toward Williamson?

Looks like the traverse from Willliamson to Pallett. You're approaching Pallett (center). Will Thrall is behind and left.

Maybe there should be a separate thread devoted to this particular spot on the trail. ?

Your Uncle Rico recently took Kip and the rest of the family to Las Vegas to go check out the Mt. Charleston area for some outdoor recreating. I've been to Vegas a bazillion times but for some reason never made the 45 minute drive out to Kyle Canyon. I didn't know what I was missing. Anyway, I wisel...

The lakes in that basin have some colorful names. According to Place Names of the Sierra Nevada by Peter Browning, Sailor Lake (formerly known as Drunken Sailor Lake) was named after a sailor who used to hang out around Lake Sabrina Lodge. He was found one day sleeping off one of his binges by the l...

Wow, nice trip Jeff. The N. Fork Bishop Creek drainage is beautiful. But those stairs are a killer.



How were the water levels in creeks/lakes? Looks decent from your pics.
