EISPIRATEN

i have slept in my car at the TH more times than i can count. if it is not allowed i know of no such ordinance. keep your food in the bear locker and make sure you use ear plugs. the constant door slamming and the talking/laughing of other hikers :evil: getting ready to go, plus the lights of cars p...

Richard, who cares how long you take as long as you enjoy the adventure!! :D Beautiful photos! On Monday the haze from the fires in Sequoia was the worst we saw all weekend. Your shot of Temple Crag is so clear compared to what i could shoot. As i drove home it was such a pity to see Big Willy or ac...

Great job organizing this, Norma; it looks like a good time was had by all. It was a beautiful weekend to be in the Range of Light and I'm pretty sure that I felt the good hiking vibes from you guys all the way over on Split Mtn! :D I really didn't organize this. Tracie picked the campground which ...

Thanks to the friends that i have made from this board I had 4 great days of hiking in the Sierra. Patrick (lilbitmo), Ernie (EmanBH), TracieB and Stacy (BiletChick) all headed north and we made camp at Lake Sabrina. Friday afternoon after securing camp the boys and I headed up the Bishop Pass Trail...

PackerGreg, you made me LOL!

Taco, now that's what a Poodle Dog Bush SHOULD look like!! Bow Wow!

Calico Kitty?

Cool beans all! Looked like a rappin' good time,

Ewwww... that's just a bit too close for comfort! Settle down there Taco!

We should thank Ryan. Theses boards play a part in the connections. Not only do they provide us with information about the routes and conditions, we also learn about the people who post. Taco, you provide a great service…thanks ditto! :D i've said it similarly before. there are a number of boards o...

:D i love an excellent day in the mountains! nice video of the deer, vb. they always run away from me! :cry: what's that about? yep, scree skiing down the bowl is a blast. glad you got to do it. re: registers... i have never signed one on Baldy but have on Harwood, though i have not found one there ...

i heard the kid is in critical condition. now i see why he lived on that last slow mo. he hit the overpass with the back of his car when it spun around. freakin' insane.

finally posted my pix! better later than neve?... Taco warming up his leg's at McD's while The Sierra awaits http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tLZpFwoRpyI/THHhqKXuUaI/AAAAAAAA-Qo/cw3VigxNtiU/s576/P1060778.JPG Aye, a motlier crew has never been seen! http://lh5.ggpht.com/_tLZpFwoRpyI/THHhuCCXZsI/AAAAAAAA-RA/QZv...

:D Nice photos, especially of the sheep! Nice hike too!! :D As an aside; I go out of my way to yield trail to other hikers. That crowd in the last mile of trail between the Chapman cutoff and the parking area showed no such courtesy. I'm sure it'll do no good, but i'll call the Ranger Station in Bal...

Since i had to bail on this trip only a couple miles into it, i thought it was fitting i post my pix here and not on the thread that it looks like Taco will post about the Epic adventure. Nothing is harder than saying "Can't" when all you want is "what is just out of reach." But ...

i'd call that a four peak day. good job! espeically considering the heat.

speachless. ok, maybe not. dang, Rick... unbelievable, impressive and your legs and feet were made for walkin'! congrats!

Jeff, mighty fine time you did that in! Good job Yeti!

beautiful day for a hike Wednesday was. lookie here... Zach in the lush Eden that is Falling Rock Canyon http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tLZpFwoRpyI/TG7PX-o6u9I/AAAAAAAA-DE/4PTaIPGOICI/s512/P1070072.JPG flowers, flowers everywhere and berries too! http://lh4.ggpht.com/_tLZpFwoRpyI/TG7PL9W-fPI/AAAAAAAA-CM/DIGq...

ok, knock it off! this thread needs to be retired. i can take a teasing as well as the next a$$hole, but i hate to be the center of attention. :evil: it feels mighty good to be sprung from the joint and the doc gave me a thumb's up today on the healing that has taken place. so yes, i am back. no big...

Ja, sehr gut!!!!!!!!

In the winter, i can think of lots of places. But i have a feeling you mean this time of year. Yes? (This post just made me yearn for snow and a peaceful snowshoe right after a storm.)

Nice! Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

HikeUp, thanks for spotting this. Man, some pi have all the luck! CM, when are we going there? i'm ready anytime you are!! seriously. call me, lets plan it.

The Day I Got Caught in San Gabriel Mountain Quicksand... After a rain storm, and before Arcadia public works showed up, I thought I would gather some free decomposed granite with which to fill the worn-out barn stalls at Adams' Pack Station... :shock: you got more than what you didn't pay for! plu...

A true confession though: I pulled a Rosie Ruiz on my return, as I shortened my ride by 13 miles by hopping on the light rail in Sierra Madre! As it turned out, I didn't save any time.... Haha! Not only that, you missed out on the burned calories the additional peddling would have insured. That's t...

thanks Ernie! great to run into you too. my foot felt great and 8 hours later still feels good. so i guess it's safe to say... I'm back! the incarceration is over. happy dance!!!

(need to take a look at my pix from the day and change my avatar.)

that Leopard is so beautiful and cute too. i agree, catnip by the camera could make for some interesting footage.
