nice little walk you guys had

Hi, I've been lurking around your fine forum for some time when I found this thread concerning my neck of the woods. The gate at the junction of 1N34 and Lytle Creek Road typically opens Sept.1st for hunting and recreation, however, it its subject to closure when snow, rain or other conditions warr...

oh yes, the ridge up to Clamshell was my first off trial route, mostly because I read it on the HPS and thought it was a well established trail. the brush was pretty annoying, but now that I've seen worse, it's not too bad really. I thought the loop (w/o Pine) is a decent route in the winter actually.

i wonder how they react to catnip...

real nice

major score!

awesome! now you have to do the big 3.

Right on the borderline of awesome -- and insane. Heck of an accomplishment. HJ that's a good border to be on :wink: Thought you were banned. :wink: not banned just excommunicated Awesome writeup! (and adventure) Get a chance to explore any mines? I'm not sure if any of the Gold Dollar mine shafts ...

Lol I guess it is a nhps emblem peak

yeah I was emailing with Peter Doggett who added those two peaks, I suggested Triplet Rocks and Big Horn Ridge, but apparently peaks have to be reasonably easy to get to!

yeah, was looking specifically of Wild View peak and Pine Mountain ridge.

new peaks apparently have formed in the San Gabriels. I didn't study geology but never thought mountains could form so quickly!

before clicking the link, take a guess at where the 2 new peaks are. were you right?

How long does it take to drive between these two spots (non-Taco driving)?

bumping this old one.

Even though I usually just drink the water directly, I'm considering buying a filter (pump or gravity).

Suggestions? Interested in durability and ease of use.

i knew how much you liked it, I wanted you to associate it with evertime you think of the mountains

dude El! haven't seen you in like 3 years!

oh good, Rick's back. I've got a route for you...

i think it might have been, until may 16th. but who cares about a few days? but actually thinking about it I think bear creek itself was the boundary, so you could hike down to it, just stay a few feet above the creek or you might be struck by lightning but starting may 16th, but here is the updated...

are you planning on going into a closed area?!!!!

i think these are somewhat relevant, more for hike-planning: http://hikingscience.blogspot.com/2010/ ... pping.html http://hikingscience.blogspot.com/2010/ ... pdate.html If you have a gps w/ its software, you'll be able to download the track recording (assuming you set that up on the device) into t...

sweet lord! the upper part of the fireroad has gotta be above 20% grade, a pain to "run" on, I can only imagine how bad it is on a bike!

http://www.rei.com/product/795509/rei-d ... -waistpack I have this for trailrunning / shorter dayhiking, I think works pretty well. I think the main question would be how much storage space you need. in the main compartment i can fit wallet, phone, camera, cliff bar, with a little space left over.

oooh, nice photo of Triplets

so what you're saying is, you're inviting us to crash at your place for a R2R2R??

congrats

awesome!

there was a news story last year linked here that they uncovered a pot farm in Cow Canyon
