EISPIRATEN

I cant wait to see a gorilla in the san gabriels personally

Gorilla suit about to make a debut?

If something happens after October 28th post it here! I need some Sierra action before snow comes(not too much of it anyways). You said before November though and that sure is coming quickly!

Ive got no work so going to celebrate with some ramen on top! Its a feast fit for a king

I wouldve thrown an even bigger rock at him

Whats the cost to get something that will come up on google easily? Might attract more people here!

I spent the night on San Jacinto last night, it was snowing all the way down to Round Valley but nothing was sticking. Got back to the tram real early but absolutely no white anywhere, very disappointing!

I have that same Gregory pack, and all this time Ive been wondering why the straps on the side are so damn long. I feel retarded as Ive been carrying my pad inside my backpack haha

Nice TR tho!

No snow unless southern California now has
mountains above 12k. They're saying it's a pretty warm storm

Where is this new fire? It looks from my house to be right behind Cucamonga Peak/to the right of it. It looks huge

Haha I'll keep an eye out for sure, hopefully the first snow doesn't come early! And I'm taking a bear can just in case I'm thinking!

Was there any concern over bears while camping near finger lake? I'm going to finally head up there in about 2 weeks, and bears scare me shitless

I love every picture of finger lake Ive ever seen, I've gotta get my ass up there

This makes me miss my airsofting days. Looks like fun work/practice!

The run down the valley at the end is amazing

Either Mt. Wilson is burning, or the feed from the camera is gone. Can't get it to load anymore. Hope for the best

Edit! Nm! Firefighters still there so must be just slow loading

Thinking about just staying on top and enjoying the stars/near full moon since I have 2 days off in a row. Going to run over to Dawson for the first time as well. However the smoke is getting worse as well as the wind is blowing it more towards Baldy. I couldnt even see the 3 typical mountains from ...

Good to hear tr air quality wasn't too bad. I plan on making an overnighter out f baldy Tuesday. Hopefully the fire/wind doesn't get any worse or I'll be cancelling

I love my jetboil, it boils water pretty damn quickly.
Also, are you looking for something for tea or for coffee? There is an instant coffee they sell that you let sit in hot water.

Im thinking about going out for an overnighter Saturday! It could be a wet/windy one so time to finally use my rainfly for the first time!

Pretty good show last night, moon was pretty bright but saw a peak at 12-1am of 53 in 1 hour. Parked on hwy 2. A lot seemed to come in clusters, even saw 4 all at once. Badass night

Gonna have to agree with Jim here. Coming down towards the 57/210 interchange and stopping at In N Out after a good long hike is all the recovery one needs

I've actually been looking into this recently as well, it looks like a blast with easy hikes throughout the island. Santa Rosa is the way to go from the people Ive talked to as well as the least populated. Better to go when its chillier, a lot less people as well its easier to see the animals. Ive a...

That owl is always in the cages at the parking lot, I always feel bad for him as I walk by

A wet winter perhaps! One can hope

Ahhhh! I can totally respect that! I'm gonna be heading up for my first overnighter at Kelly's camp after reading all of Simonov's praise about it here next week, glad theres water to drink!

Can't you camp anywhere in the san gabriels anyways? Even outside of the designated camp sites? I've seen tons of people camping on top of cucamonga and such

I've finally decided its time to stay out in the wilderness after all these times going out hiking. But I need to find a decent sized backpack that'll carry me through at least a few days. I'm 5'11, and need some suggestions! I'll be purchasing a new sleeping bag to go with this so the only issue is...

What the hell were all those people out there at 1 am for? lol

That's one big ass bear when you compare it to the deer/bobcat.
And its walking right on the trail! I'd love to come around that corner
