When you planning on heading up? I was thinking of hitting Alta Peak, a little further north before mid November if you're int...

I'm not sure consuming a Stellar Jay is the only cause to become 'Loud and Obnoxious". Look at F.O. for example.

During dry conditions, mountaure on the foot print is ...

What a bummer.

Lilbitmo and I were on Ice House Saddle Sunday and heard copters all morning near the fire area.

Thanks for the report. I haven't done this trail in many, many years. Maybe I will try it soon too.

Nice TR. I like your pictures. Some strange stuff out there, especially the tunnels and the (possible) bunkers.

Nice climbing there Dave and Norma. Rock looks great. You both look like you're having so much fun.

Looks like a nice hike Patrick. Looks like you had some nice clear weather.
