Are there still quite a few downed trees across the Burkhart Trail? These are my photos, I counted about 23 -24 down trees most of which have been there about 4 years I reported these way back then.... Kinda cheeses me off they haven't been addressed. Guess I should stop complaining and get off my ...

"You've see one...You've seen'em all"

eh I can see it from here

I think they are best suited for carrying on a hike just to clear some of the obvious annoyance type of brush (the occasional overhanging crap, etc.), not for anything hardcore like trail clearing/constructing. Makes sense. I've got some all metal, long-handled ones for real trail maintenance. Glad...

You can add it to your NHPS list! 8)

Right now they seem to have a handle on it...

They hit it hard with fixed and rotary wing aircraft!

Right now it's just white smoke not the angry dark bellowing type

I saw the Sykcrane a short while ago

Matt

looking out my front door smoke and flames are rising.....

Looks like it's in the "Herreres Ranch" area

Aircraft coming in now

What a waste....

Yeah
It has it's moments for sure, I've hike up there plenty

Camped at Tom Lucas Cpgd a few times to boot

The brushing is being done by volunteers, and my heartfelt thanks goes out to them for their Herculean efforts!

In trail work there never seems to be an end

Thanks for the TR

I'm using the GPSmap76CSX, it is the same as the 60csx, or at least the software is My unit has a waypoint averaging feature which when activated samples the location every X seconds until you hit O...

I was wondering what happened to that!

Only in the Angeles!

I made it to the trailhead about 7:15am and was off by 7:20am, the weather was relatively cool and the wind was nice I made good time as the trail is pretty good and it's not super steep, @ 3.4 miles I stopped for a break and cached some Gatorade for the return trip @ 4.0 miles 2hrs I came to the ju...

Like I said I felt I was on the trail.... Made every effort to be on what appeared to be the trail No brush really to speak of There was a large ponderosa pine down on the trail at the switchback at about 7150ft There was a small-ish oak down on the trail below there, it appears some (sheep & de...

Well if there was stinging nettles at least I'd have something to eat is I became stranded!

I understand what you're saying, but it appears from your track that you didn't take the trail as marked on the topo you posted from about pt. 7348 to about the 7000' countour in the LFF drainage. I take it then that there was some kind of trail that you were following. I was speculating about the ...

Like I said the trail is relatively "easy" to follow to LFF camp

I just wouldn't try to get to UFF in the dark

The section of trail that crosses by the elevation point 7348 has a bit of a landslide that can be crossed with care

Other wise it should be ok

Overnight camping where?

If you are paying a fee to camp no AP is needed at your site....

Stop Stop ! I'm about ready to leave work and head out there right NOW

You make it sound like soooo much fun!

The only thing you could make it for me is the brush is all Buckthorn and Yuccas

I heading up to San Bernardino Peak on Thursday AM

Amazing to me that this is just happening now...

I got a little confused about my springs near Pacifico. There is no Sheep Head Spring. There is a Fountainhead Spring and a Sheep Camp Spring. Fountainhead was running as of 6/21 although it doesn't sound like it has a lot of water, and Sheep Camp was barely trickling. Still, that might work. Fount...

Greetings! I'm all for HYOH (Hike your own hike) My knowledge of that area is limited at best, so I'll leave the hike suggestions to others I'd say in general it's gonna be tough to find places that are "cool" down low in the hot weather season. (june-ish thru mid-october) I generally hope...

Yeah Jim
they are right where the arrow is pointing

There is a small site overlooking the narrows and another bit further up

Maybe more but I finally figured out I was going the wrong way

Vincent Gulch

Though it was a bit buggy when I was there in May.

Oh man
Bring your asbestos pack!

And plenty of water...

In other, more important news (ignored of course by the MSM), North Korea is threatening to WIPE THE U.S. OFF THE GLOBE ONCE AND FOR FALL. All I can say is...WOW. And belligerent!! I love that word. Why would North Korea commit suicide ? Any use of "Special Weapons", even suspected use wo...
