Too bad it isn't compatible with your other headgear

I personally never had much use for the red filter but hey ...

I have hiked the Keyon Devore Tr post Station Fire. It was in good shape. This was like 1 year ago or so. The loop I did was to the Valley Forge Tr. The Gabrilenio Tr between Kenyon Deveore and Valley Forge was bad. Unless you had hiked it before many times it would be difficult if not impossible to...

Yeah
The La Canada carpool point on Angeles Crest Highway!

Definitely more bugs south of silver pass .

Purple lake as I passed through was the buggiest spot north of silver pass

I saw some folks hiking with head nets

I just hosed down with "Bens 100"

FWIW There is some gold miners out there. Esp just above the bridge. I'd report this to the Sheriff. San Dimas - 270 S.

Hiking in a fire proximity suit must have been enjoyable!

Most excellent!

I'm going to be in that area over the July 4th weekend.

How was the mosquito situation?

Was there any damage from the wind event south of Reds Meadow?
