When are we gonna find out the exact number of Easter 'brownies' these two polished off before things kicked in and it really became more than a day 'trip'... Normally I'd blame these kind of shenanigans on excessive alcohol but they were under 21.... wait a minute, that never stopped some of us :P ...

Been meaning to compliment you on this TR and your Brown Mt. TR --- nicely written with lots of good trail info... That Brown Mt. TR, 10.5 hours, wow, a fun but long day ehh :wink: Pretty cool that you didn't settle for a car shuttle or 'pick me up when I'm done' finish... Back to your Grand Canyon ...

More great pics Blueshammer - you're on a roll. Yours and other trip reports are always appreciated - especially for folks like myself that just can't get there like we used to :? Wouldn't it be sweet if we could see a photo of this cabin in it's glory years... Can only imagine sitting there on the ...

Thanks for posting this Blueshammer! Such a lovely area...

That's what's so wonderful about the San Gabriels --- you have areas like this [essentially west of San Gabriel Canyon] and then not too far away, you can get into some nice/more 'alpiney' areas like in Ice House Canyon etc etc...

Thanks for the list! There are quite a few books there that I didn't know about! So much history.... and so many stories connected to this mountain range... Wow, John Muir sure had an incredible way with words... he could paint more than a picture, you can almost feel it when he wrote... Thanks so ...

Cougarmagic, you're on a roll... So good/funny, it had to be bulleted :) * a crumbled gully where you grab roots to haul yourself up. * goes to the steep gully with a few rotted hardware store ropes tied to dead tree roots, * spray paint rocks and jump off a 40' cliff into a 6' deep pool, so you can...

There are a couple sections of traverse that are basically vertical. Though there are some hand and footholds, they're made of our lovely crumbly granite. There isn't anything solid to anchor a rope to. Thanks for the info cougarmagic... So going down [or back up] from the Razor Back to to the top ...

Particularly photos of the pizza your ordered

BTW, I'm still waiting for the Ski Hut at Baldy to turn into a Pizza Hut

My Eaton curiosity continues so I went to google earth this time. The turquoise line I drew - is that the infamous Razor Back ridge? And is this where most falls occur? On the same line, after the ? mark, what route do the 'tourons' :lol: go from there to get to the second waterfall? [Hopefully I've...

All I want for Christmas is the Mt. Lowe Railway to come back



How's that for a lofty 'Christmas wish list' item

Happy Hiking Holidays and Trails to all...

Thanks for posting this Jeff --- especially this shot! Never get tired of seeing this angle of the back bone... https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1460370/IMG_3073.JPG Speaking of cool shots... https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1460372/IMG_3...

I don't hike anymore. Hope to fix that soon. For those that are hiking I ask...POST A DAMN TR!!! :) Double that.. Even though I don't get to the San Gabriels like before, it doesn't mean I haven't stopped lovin' them any less... a mountain range with such beauty, so close to a 'concrete jungle'... ...

:shock: :shock: It's possible for a really strong hiker to do them in 24 hours. At least 3 people that I have read about have done it. They've started at midnight and done a big loop. :shock: :shock: --- I think I like your way a bit[e] more: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/4.bp.blogspot.com/...

Thanks for posting news21, a feature on this forum I've always enjoyed... It's really interesting to see how the so cal [massive] population interacts with the 'local' mountains... sometimes it's pretty, other times not. That helicopter sounds tempting: "Pilots take a Bell 206B-III JetRanger ch...

Seems every time you turn on the TV news they are showing more Eaton Canyon rescues than drive-by shooting reports :P Seeing as I'm a giant chicken, trail words like 'razorback' lead me the other way, so going to Eaton Canyon's second falls was only going to happen this way, so to speak/see... https...

Very cool, Jim! 24 of them is a lotta steps in completing that goal... a big pat on the back pack for that accomplishment Jim... Looked at the map you provided and saw just how many were in the San Bernardino Mountains ----- and 'little' ol' Baldy sits there almost all alone :wink: Just read your Dr...

Sorting through some photos from the net, ran across these... amazing how the floor has changed. The 2nd picture, more to the left of the photo, is that the 'entrance' into San Antonio Canyon? http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/8133/baldyandvalleyfloor03.jpg Is that Baldy? http://img18.imageshack.us/i...

Good 1, Taco!

What about this one? That bag has some nice fall colors, don't it? Plus, it's 'Taco Flavor', what a bonus!

Taco must be busy not being stuck between a rock and a high place...

An instant photochop classic... Actually, I used Colorforms :oops: :oops: Ding dong, I'm awake now, thanks Jim ---- PackerG, shouldn't that be 'Colorform' :P Maybe PackerG could Colorform Chaz Bono riding a zipline into this weiner, I mean, winner of a photo https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/l...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: An instant photochop classic Jim!!! I thought about really scaring that photo up by adding Chaz Bono and Nancy Grace dancing with the stars images but the horror was too much.... https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/gallery.myff.org/gallery/1165074/gang-autumn.jpg Of course...

Well, that worked out well... Hey Mr. Taco, look where I snagged this photo from :wink: :o --- credit going towards Dr. Habes... http://tinyurl.com/4xmve6a https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/drhabes.smugmug.com/photos/686129679_o7u4J-M.jpg My Ice House Canyon shot is not even close to this beaut...

I'm probably not the best person to be making a request but here it goes...... As nice as the photo is of the 5 lads on the current banner pic any 'shot' of bannering a fall season photo?? I have some older pictures of fall colors in Ice House Canyon but the quality isn't that good but I'm sure you ...

There always this one too...

For real. Beautiful area.

Is this specifically for the ski lifts/tow ropes or was it for some other purpose?

Speaking of sleazy. When we were younger and broke, me and my girlfriend of the time were in San Diego for the weekend. It was around 8pm when we found a motel that looked ok. I asked how much for a room and the clerk told me $50.00. Then he said that he would give me the room for $20.00 if we were ...

Come on Taco..... time to incorporate some true.... + + + + + product placement within your trip reports! :P :P :P http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/3431/tacorockp8210246copy.jpg Alright alright - I hope you got a shot of the lake from up there - would love to see it if ya do...

Some seriously beautiful pictures... screen saver type material.

Ahhhh, and an Arrogant Bastard to 'top' it off

My neighbor gave me one of those the other week - I really really liked it - wonderful, bit different flavor and it had a nice kick to it too...

At first glance, I thought the Viking horn was a bong. :D Nice pictures. Thanks! :lol: :lol: Well, by the looks of the pictures, there was plenty of clean water for refilling it Or that horn looks like it coulda been a snake charming device too :x Taco, going down that rocky ravine, and after seein...
