Re: Chantry Flat

I emailed Jody Noiron (for what it's worth) and emplored that they PLEASE not give up Big Santa Anita without a fight. I don't know what else I can do. I feel for all of the cabin owners, Sturtevant's and the pack station.

It's literally a crying shame.

Re: The Station Fire Thread

Any word on the status of Big Santa Anita Canyon? Sturtevant Camp? Can't find any updated links. The Pack Station hasn't updated their site since the weekend.

Anyone heard anything?

Re: 20080522 Waterslide, San Antonio Canyon

Wow! This brings back some memories! This used to be a wildly popular place in the 80's. Too popular actually, as it was fairly trashed with beer bottles and the like. but on a hot summer day, there was nothing like sliding down that slide! You'd sit in that chute (where the log now is in your pics)...
