Thanks Sean,
Left it is. 8)

Thanks again HikeUp!

Thanks for the intel Sean. Regarding PCT closure, I plan on:
1. Either following PVR east to Mt Williamson and on to Islip saddle. (Is this a viable option?) or:
2. Following the Burkhart trail to the PCT.
Where is the PCT closure exactly?

Thanks again!

Thanks Hike up. Forgot about the frog closure. My intended route hopefully is outside that boundary. I was hoping to make the 3 days more uniform in distance for my hiking buddies who tend to complain on longer days. Sounds like I would need to bring adequate water up from Burkhart trail (Cruthers c...

Hello, Planning a trip from the Devils punchbowl to Vincent Gap via the Burkhart trail via Islip saddle, to Baden Powell and ending at Vincent Gap as stated. My plan is for a three day two night trip. Anyone know of a good campsite just beyond Burkhart saddle? Wondering about trail conditions water ...

Thanks guys! That gives me some options to chew on. 8)

Anyone out there have any suggestions for a multi-day hike in the Santa Barbara area?
Thanks in advance!

Yes. The trip was great! We picked up our permit in Lone Pine and set out of Horshoe Meadow on 9/16 camping between Cottonwood lakes 4 and 5. We acclimated for a day, and took a day trip to Langley on 9/18. The weather was awesome, and the fishing was pretty good too. I think in retrospect, the camp...

Thanks for the intel Lilbitmo.
Really looking forward to the trip and a little fishing.

Awesome! Thanks for the info.
Nice photoby the way.

I am not a hunter, however I support the right of those who do in a responsible way. What evidence would be sufficient to determine that there was a negative impact on deer, elk or other creatures to allow hunting of predators such as mountain lion. This is the the department of fish and GAME after ...

Hey there. Was wondering if someone had intel regarding Old Army Pass. I am planning an over-nighter from Horseshoe Meadow to Mt Langley. I realize I could use New Army Pass, but I was hoping to do a little fishing as well.
Much thanks in advance!

Fabulous TR and pictures!
Would love to do that trip some day.

Amen!
God bless two of the finest!

Great report Cougar! Some friends and I completed a through hike to Wrightwood from East fork through that section you mentioned a couple of years ago. We were'nt able to find an actual trail and so we bush-wacked and log hopped our way through until we reached the cabin flat area. That would be a g...

Happy Birthday Ryan, or Ibib from Nigeria who also sent a request stating this money would free his imprisoned uncle.

Now, for every day that the government shuts down, I shouldn't have to pay taxes. I mean they can't tax me to support a government that isn't in operation, yes? So, let's all withhold that percentage of our taxes proportional to the number of days they shut down. Oh, and congressmen would naturally...

As far as not wanting to maintain the campgrounds and trails, I'm sorry but that's just plain ignorant. Have you been up there this past year to see how much money and time they are putting into rebuilding/upgrading everything? (and yes, you can get to all of those places). Lower Charlton Flat is g...

That's all nice and good and I wish it were that way too, but you both know as well as I do, that's not how it works. It's public land, yes, but is also required by and administered by the federal govt. They mostly create and maintain the trails, campgrounds, infrastructure etc, and are therefore u...

I don't know why the government should carry any liability for us in the forest. Nor why they should limit our access for any reason. It is public land and if a person chooses to risk his life that should be his right as a citizen to do so. IMHO 8)

cool pics :D I wonder if were going to get anymore spring snow storms... Ima go up to the snow this weekend hopefully (ive only got 13 days left to go to snow :( ) 13? HJ -Jim-Ya. Im having my jaw fixed on April 6th. 4+ hours of surgery, so ima b recovering anywhere from 2-4 weeks. So im guessin th...

Ya. Kind of a rain or snow dance. I'm a giver.

Bill, Look, I'm really sorry. Some people. :roll: HJ Fortunately, it melts quickly this time of year. Really, you all have me to thank for this phenomenal snow year. Since I sold the snow blower at the yard sale a couple years ago seems like we are getting some pretty decent snow. We've been doing ...

Serious accumulations in the SG. 24" and counting. First day of spring my big toe! Come on sunshine. 8)

Dissing it? I've got socks that old.

Sorry about that dude, need 10 good ones for that hike. Hope all goes well.

Thanks Jim. Catcha next time.

Thinking of doing Iron tommorrow 3/16/11 anyone interested?

Ok, so I am looking to do the trip in the John Robinson book from Vincent Gap to East Fork (or reverse) in late May/early June. I believe that the book says around 16-18 miles one way with a long car shuttle. Hoping to do a 1 nighter based on time constraints. Is this feasible to comfortably do thi...

Very interesting!

On the other hand, maybe they stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
