Cool!

Great place. We stay at Big Sycamore campground in the early spring. Last year the canyon camp was full, so we ended up at Thornehill-Broom on the ocean side. You want to stay at the nw end of this campground, practically across from the La Jolla Canyon entrance. There are large bushes that shield y...

I been tempted to put a PanzerPlate on my A3. . .

Wow, back from the dead! If we only all had such competent friends around us at such times! We'd only be dead half as much!

Do people eat bear?

Elwood über alles!! Yeah, great pics.

Inside joke...Took this on my front porch recently:

Wow, done in true Norma R. style!! Kudos to your cohorts, as well. 8)

The views of the Palisade Crest are sublime. . .

Thanks.

Wow. That would be a rush!

KF, first off, the original post was not anti-hunting, it was anti-idiot. As for wolves, they were practically exterminated by 1974. Currently, according to the FWS, there are about 5700 Gray Wolves in the lower 48. http://www.fws.gov/Midwest/wolf/aboutwo ... drange.htm That is a hugely reduced popu...

How do you know that the population of wolves is endangered? Do you believe the garbage stats that the anti-hunters use to claim wolves are still endangered? Sources for your unsupported declaration of "garbage stats," KF? Those that protect animals like they are equal to man, treat them ...

CM, in my experience, "Winds 5-10mph SSE," is like your "southwest winds" example. Southxsoutheast winds, in other words.

Xlnt! You people are so full of energy it hurts!

Way out there! Long time ago, I helped a friend who had bought a 1/4 section of land just north of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park: set him up for his first winter. That is just about due east from where you are in Refuge Bay. The locals always said to take a guide into the bush because it all looks the ...

Beautiful place. We were last here 30 years ago when Susan was 7-8 months pregnant with our son, Roland. We started out with a group of friends, but as they were much younger, our pace was slower. They were headed for the high country out of Evolution Valley in a hurry! My wife was not in a hurry, u...

Absolutely beautiful kitties! Persistence furthers, without a doubt!

Looking good! Last time I drove there (eons,eons), I was driving a 1959 VW beetle. Even made it up the winding track up the other ridge, parked it and hiked in to Upper Fish Fork. I guess my little Audi A3 is not making the drive. . .

In the San Jacinto Wilderness. . .This may impact the closure, I would think, due to the possibility of re-introducing frogs to the Rattlesnake Creek area, eh?

Teacups were great fun, as usual. My video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfqTVyiERqk There are a couple of outtakes at the end - including the sudden disappearance of one of our group at the "spout". There was more algae slime this time than I remember. How was the water temp? W...
