EISPIRATEN

Hey cool! I did this on 10/31/2010!

I also rode up to Magic Mtn today from Bear divide

So those fresh Mtn Bike tracks where mine...

As far as I can tell, most access points to the Yerba Buena Ridge area from the Little-T side before Gold Creek Rd involve crossing private land. There is what I believe to be a legitimate bypass trail that can be accessed from Gold Creek Rd. Here is a map for a hike I took back in 2004 http://calt...

Very cold temperatures make dry powder or so it seems to me. It can be snowing above the ground and raining down lower and everything inbetween It seems to me generally we do not have the very cold temperatures to get powder say 15° F But this time we had cold temps on the ground during and after th...

I was out to Limerock peak back in 2010

Good to know the trails on Yerba Buena are being worked on

I regularly hear the gun fire at the shooting range on Mt Lukens

I used them a few times and they broke.

But to be fair I'm not using them on snow nor ice. I used (abused) them hiking bare decomposed granite firebreaks.

I do use the Kahtoola ones for this and they last and last

I don't have any gps data nor did I take photos. We parked in a safe place so our windows wouldn't get smashed. Got going around 8am. The Grizzly Flat trail now starts off Silver Creek wash just follow the flagging tape. Getting to the end of the Grizzly Flat road the once open pine forest is replac...

I rode to Gold Creek Saddle 2/24/2014

Plenty of sandy spots and rocks not something I am going to repeat anytime soon

Beautiful! I've been thinking about this trip for a few years

Late TR or not thanks for sharing!

I especially like the 3rd image. It really gives a sense of motion

Thanks for sharing

It reminds me of when my truck broke down in Great Basin National Park and encountered a humming bird sitting on it's nest when we where hiking XC to the Visitor Center to call AAA

LPC?

I have ridden and hiked out there a few times

Any GPS data for your little jaunt?

1996 to 2006 I kept track of 1000 trips

or an average of 1.9 trips per week for 10 years.

It is certainly more but I can say with confidence 1000 times to the highest point on Mt Lukens over that period.

I've been slacking since then with only 53 in the last eight years

Made two trips to Mt Lukens this weekend. One Mtn Bike from Angeles Crest Highway via Hoyt Mtn and Grizzly Flat roads, The other on "CR" ridge. Summits 1052 and 1053 respectively. http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/633495561 We left at first light making good time. I'd not done this...

Perhaps related to Rock Maple Acer saccharum


Ricos Burned Rock Oak Ricoia Quercus saxum ssp. extermino

Interesting. The road basically follows the same ridge, but in a road kind of way (i.e. 500 feet/mile or less kind of way). Cool stuff. Pics or it didn't happen ;) yeah I'm thinking it was put in when the cable was. The road has not been and will not? be maintained anymore. The Haines Cyn Mtnwy is ...

http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/630097985 This is probably the shortest route to the summit of Mt Lukens. I have hiked most of the the segments at one time or another, never strung them all together. My hiking partners vehicle died on the way to Haines Cyn Ave so I was on my own. Got goin...

Did you talk with anyone that came up from Shortys Well?

Wanted to know the water situation at Hanaupah Spring

Why was the front county left out? Excellent question. High Desert was included to prevent any further development IMO

I agree with the posts saying debris basins, power lines, water companies etc. Have too many powerful interests behind them

Often wondered myself

Thanks for this! I'd not paid much attention to this. Strange to me the areas that where left out of the declaration and ones that where included.

I was there early on Sunday. Didn't see any water but didn't go up to the tank

thanks again, went out today early. Didn't set any records (maybe for the longest trip) but it was good

Thanks for the info...

I was heading out to do a quick jaunt down San Antonio Creek soon. Is there any water from the recent thunder storms?

Never seen one would like to see one myself

I stepped in a gopher hole on the PCT in Deep Creek doing a face plant. I thought I whacked my knee on a rock which I had 2 orthopedic drs treat and was never diagnosed with the real injury a torn meniscus (bursitis was the misdiagnosis). This took 6 months before the swelling was gone and it had to...

Maybe the coyote heard you where in pictures and wanted to get on camera

They need to stick together because of all the cougars in the Verdugo mtns and Griffith park

http://www.simpsoncity.com/hiking/islip.html

This states " fire lookout on its summit "

This was my recollection.

As to the damage. My guess is fire...when? dunnna know

I'd sure like to see a photo if one was out there
