Some cool layers you can throw in as well,such as last 24hrs summary of rainfall. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/channel?sec ... id=6650542 Nice 1... nicely set up and easy to use!! Hard to believe how far 'we' have come in regards to bringing active/current weather maps to such convenient & speci...

Good call - that looks real nice.

And bschmalz - fantastic shots of the Devil's Back Bone...gives a solid perspective of that section!

Man Augie, your boy's on fire! Keep 'em coming. 8) You feelin' it too Uncle ? 'Feelin' youuuuu!' Daniel Medina.... as the wild and nutty 'Vic the Brick' would say :P I've always had a huge soft-spot in my heart for all the camps/cabins/buildings/hotels etc etc that once stood in the San Gabriels so...

Yes Augie... More thanks to Daniel Medina! A very interesting, and eye-opening, article. As you can tell, it was so good, I've almost copy/pasted the whole thing here :wink: A crucial amendment to the bill stipulated: "That in employing citizens for the purposes of this Act no discrimination sh...

Sighing & wishing with you... what a beauty!

Duh. Why didn't I think of this before? When I rob the bank, this will not only be my new cabin but it will also be my hideout from the law

Read that this was an easy hike, well for me it was not that easy. We must be reading the same material :P But yes, once you're on your way..... Thanks for the photos too! Flucking Station Fire :evil: I did see some photos of the north facing slopes around the Mt. Wilson area and at least those bea...

As I've often pined and whined about seeing more old-time photos of the Cliff Trail [south face San Gabriel Peak, 'replaced' by the Mueller Tunnel] --- and encouraged by Uncle Rio's recent TR of the area --- I just had to see if I could refind the CT photo that I once saw in John Robinson's book, Th...

Ya gotta love it... 85 and he's still hittin the highways and trails !

With all this warm weather, maybe he thought it was April and headed towards the hills...

Different times and different minds but too bad the '3 Stooges above Glendora' didn't have this 'old man's sense'...

I continued on the trail here, branching off a short distance later on the trail to Mt. Lowe's summit. Once on top, I got to share the view with three beauties before they headed off greener summits. I was gonna give you an A+++ for all these great pictures/TR but it seems you forgot to post one of...

The whooshing sound with intermittent popping and crackling was amazing. Should've been dozens more. Fire crews amaze me! We were also lucky this fire didn't break out a night or two earlier when the winds were much stronger. Serious words, Mike. Glad you made it out safely - what an experience. Ev...

Thanks for sharing these pics Taco! HIGH-lights for sure... I particularly like these kind of TRs when they're in the Baldy area, especially Ice House Canyon.

This one is boss:

Looking at those photos makes you realize how hearty folks were back then. Thanks for sharing. Ditto ditto on those two sentences. Augie, I think your son did a great job on that article, respect... a great insight of how things used to be. Amazing to see how drastically things have changed in such...

More details on the 3 arrested for the illegal campfire that start this... http://www.scpr.org/news/2014/01/16/416 ... /?slide=14 "Three men are in jail for allegedly recklessly starting a fire. Steven Aguirre, 21, a transient; Jonathan Jarrell, 23, of Irwindale; and Clifford Henry Jr, 22, of ...

This kinda stuff puzzles me... So there is someone out there that is into hiking and the beauty of nature enough to go/be where these signs are posted...... yet dirty-minded and cold-hearted enough to steal the signs ? I always thought good minded/hearted people were the people hiking the mountains ...

...that the following is most probably been done before, there might be some who get something from my research over the years. I apologize for the redundancy Ray. Greetings Ray - very interesting and I can never get enough historical information when it comes to the San Gabriel Mountains - 'so bri...

The question/proposal for a different trail got me curious. After all the deep history of trails in that area how come there's never been a trail that might avoid the razorback section? Is it simply because there isn't really a feasible way - aka trail - that could get hikers past the first fall ? I...

With all these beautiful pictures - instead of a 'Trip Report', this could be called a 'Scenic Report'...

You know it's good stuff when your dog appears to be soaking up the grand views



Great photo!!

Wow, on top of what you posted, there were LOTS of other 'cool' shots in this TR/photo album!! Hope you don't mind me posting these, they're too great to be missed... thanks for the photos +++ https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/farm8.staticflickr.com/7429/11041382474_342aeb3366.jpg https://eispi...

at the Ski Hut and I will stand on my soap box and preach about the activities, and who is doing what. :lol: :lol: :lol: Taco, this scene is classic enough already..... but what about throwin' on one of those stove pipe hats... i think it would complete a fine picture :wink: besides, i think if you...

So the original road that got washed out in the '38 flood was built on the bottom of the canyon right by the river? The original road was sometimes 50 feet or less above the stream. In the 1934 Camp Bonita topo it's depicted up to right before Rattlesnake Canyon. The map is a little hard to read, s...

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: I'm such an idiot.... :oops: :oops: :oops: Thanks for clearing my head Sean... I guess I always made the duh-sumption that the [later] road was the original/only road that ever got washed out... So the original road that got washed out in the '38 flood was built on the bo...

Nice 1 Sean... That Road and Bridge to Nowhere is always a dose of intriguing East Fork history... Just cracked open John Robinson's The San Gabriels book for a quick refresher --- yup, surprise surprise, it was the flood of '38 that essentially stopped that road/project... Took a very fun Google Ea...

Such an incredible/detailed amount information here Hikin' Jim! A+++ job putting this altogether... Gonna send this link/info over to my nephew... a friend of his took him up to that general area last year and he loved it... maybe loops are next in order

The research is not completely bone dry....although the spring is 8) . Could be a dude Cortelyou from back in the 30s and 40s that was the head of Caltrans, district 7(Highway 39). Besides the freeways and Arroyo Seco Spencer Cortelyou also was the Ridge Route dude. My guess is this ode to Cortelyo...

it's conceivable that when the lake was real full in the past it would have drained in both the south east corner of the lake and the south west corner. And when you look super close at the southwest corner it has a higher hillside so gravity and pressure would have taken the easy exit on that sout...

That's Cortelyou Spring . Must have been a bigger deal back when.HJ Thanks, and respect as always to you Hikin Jim [and others] for your SGM knowledge... All this time, this thing is sitting right on the side of Highway 2 and I never noticed it ??? :oops: :roll: :oops: http://imageshack.us/a/img801...

Maybe, I think, someone posted this photo on this forum once before but I forgot to ask about it. I believe I tagged it as somewhere along Angeles Crest Highway :?: :?: :?: Curious as to where it is --- and WHAT it mighta been --- a private cabin, resort or campground foundations ??? Thanks for any ...
