We now have a trial name for Zach Puss Bucket :oops: Trial? Is he a lawyer?? :shock: And I was starting to like him. Or did you mean trail? 8) LOL!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: If you read nearly all posts from Lilbitmo, his left hand is slower than his right hand and he always misspells "...

i now have it on my "delicate spot"... and now the itching, puss-filled blisters will begin driving me crazy.

That ain't from poison oak son!!! Where did you say you went drinking the night before? Something about Indians?

Very interesting ...... and amusing info! Thanks... I still can't believe people go down this face let alone up it.... 406, now those would be some pictures I'd really love to see.... in fact, how much would it cost me to finance a helmet cam for you :wink: :?: Probably just the cost of the cam.

I heard about that from another board member. Was stupidity involved? Were either rescuees from this board or the San J board?

Either way, glad there both down and safe.

Then you'll have to do it in winter sometime. One of the best views to be had anywhere.

406 - you should do it now. Perfect conditions. Maybe even too warm right now, but nice.

damn it, i have poison oak rash all over my back and on my wrist Dang!!! Sorry to hear that. First, a lost toe nail, now poison oak. All on same hike. I'm surprised I didn't get any poison oak. And I was in short sleeves. Just be glad it's not in a more "Delicate Spot" as happened to me o...

You just can't beat Southern California winters. During my years in high school I used to surf in the morning and go night skiing in the evening. It just doesn't get better than that. Nice TR. Question for you. The boots you use for those skiis, are they easy to walk/hike/climb in? Are they stiffer ...

I think when the brush saw me and my "fro" coming, they bent themselves out of the way for us.

Wow. Looks like quite the hike. I may have to join one of your group hikes sometime soon. Thanks for sharing the TR and pics.

I visited the A16 store in at "The Camp" in Costa Mesa a few times and it seems like that store has been going down hill for a long time. Well, at least since it was located over on Harbor near 19th Street. Back in the old days, at the old location, I could go into the store and the employ...

~ 18-20 salamanders, cleaned and cut in half ~ 2 cups tomato paste ~ 1-1/2 cups coney sauce ~ 1/2 cup diced jalepenos ~ 2 tbsp your favorite hot sauce, preferably a habenero sauce Cook the salamanders by boiling, frying, baking, grilling, etc. Mix the tomato paste, coney sauce, peppers and hot sauce...

Excellent job. I bet the views were amazing. Such perfect weather for your hike. Nice videos too.

Well, “difficult” to say the least. Zach and I had planned a snow/ice trip, but with the warm weather, decided against it due to rock fall dangers. So, at the last minute, we decided on Smith Mountain via Lower Bear Creek from West Fork San Gabriel. We started at 6am sharp from the West Fork San Gab...

Nice job and excellent TR. That Cytomax stuff is awesome. I started using it in January on all my trips. Stuff works great. I also ran out, and this past weekend, filled one of of my bottles with Gatoraide too. Didn't agree with me either. If you don't mind, what was your total mileadge, elevation g...

My vote goes to Dry Lake. Take your snow shoes out there. Much, much better than Baldy or Bighorn right now.

Nice pics. Thanks for sharing.

I did get your PM on the San J site, and forgot to reply. I'll let ya know when I'm thinking about doing C2C. I may do it in the fall, before the winter storms hit. We shall see!

The fall is a long way away. Why so long?

Slow down "brokeback hiker". No Coward Sausage for me.

Have you ever seen those real cute lil bear cubs? Well...... The Best "baby" Bear Jerky you ever ate: (Because of low temperature cooking, bear meat like pork, must be certified. To do this, put your meat in the freezer for 30 days prior to using.) For 5 Lbs. Of Meat (from 35 pound cub): ~...

Look at bottom of web page.

Lots of protein, good for long trails.

Perhaps a San J NF thread is needed.... (Don't look at me, it's "boring" :lol: ) Nah.....it's fun jacking girls. Liz just happens to be the first. So be gentle. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted...

Sorry Liz - you've been jacked. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-forum/hijacked.gif I would, but I don't have a car anymore. It was a tad tricky last time. I know someone going in mid March if you want me to hook you up with them. I might go as well for round two. Yeah, March seems to be th...

I'll start. Here's my three favorite recipes: You remember those pesky lil squirrels that steal your gorp in camp?

Way out of context.

I'm having a BBQ. Thats fun. And you can also take my "self-guided" hike through my gardens for $15. Animal viewing is extra.

Augie - if you can google the articles again, can you post them please? I'd like to read what they said.

Best wishes to Tim.
