EISPIRATEN

Cheers cheers Elwood - doubling down on your thoughts... I'm just wondering how Hiking Jim is going to cram an 18 pound turkey in one of his camping stoves :wink: On a less thankful note, today's wishbone is hoping that andrewnol-troll will get too curious peering over the Bridge To Nowhere and end ...

Or................. This is the price 'eye' have to pay since I now seem to hike in the hood instead of the woods... Forget picking that thing up, heck, I even backed up a couple of feet and zoomed in to take the photo :roll: :roll: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i51/albums/f353/...

What's wrong with you people! :lol: :lol: Body bag? Sheesh. https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/2.bp.blogspot.com/-BmXXguiWFyg/VZmf1aHIKlI/AAAAAAABNFM/juElQhFeAtM/s740/DSC02417.JPG :lol: :lol: :lol: HJ, thankfully my tasteless joke had something to do with the highly honored 'Carne Asada Burrito...

Good 1 Hike up !!

Tastes like chicken, HJ ?? The way that bag has got you wrapped up, you look a bit more like a 'Coroner' Asada burrito than a chicken burrito...

Sorry bout the mix up HJ, I thought you were staying at Hoegees. Even more impressive, you went up and more up --- and in high-time-snake time!! I'll never forget coming back from an early fall Mt Wilson hike and having to dodge a few snakes --- those nerves aren't in me anymore... So this is the ki...

Cool Jim, TIA if ya can post some pics... Like so many other folks here, you post great TR and pics... but when it comes to Hoegees and a camping trip - pictures sound extra cool... I can see 'em now, the sun setting on your nice camp site, the last light filtering through the trees and the grand fi...

Ain't too proud to beg....

Any photos of your Hoegees camp out ?

I'd also like to add a big 'Thank You' Richard for all your contributions to this forum over the years...

And it would be really cool to see what you see along your Florida adventures.

All the best to you and your retirement times...

:shock: :shock: :shock: As cool as this is - coming from a truly claustrophobic freak, they only thing that could have made me feel more frightened and clammy, is if you could have photoshopped a rattlesnake watching a Phish DVD into the foreground of this photo :P http://i57.tinypic.com/723hhl.jpg ...

Fess up Hikin' Jim.... you were determined to find your wallet because you had some soon-to-expire Arby's coupons in there... ?

Hey, don't be embarrassed --- I'd risk my life on Eaton Canyon's Razorback if I knew there was a stash of coupons for Arby's Curly Fries up there somewhere... ?

Packer Greg --- or anyone else go this event --- and if so, did anything stand out worth mentioning ?

Who is Candy and why is someone holding her captive ?

Ok ok, I'll go get my trench coat...

I will have a bootcamp for all people someday so this kinda jive doesn't flow. Taco, How are you going address the issue of building a camp fire ?? May I suggest the title of the lesson: "How to build a camp fire and only burn down a 1/4 of the forest when the over night temperatures reach a b...

Thanks for confirming that Neverwas! A buddy of mine has some connections to that particular stretch of highway, so when anything related to it comes up, I forward it to him. Taco, your TR, and camera, provided an angle of the road we've never seen before... isn't it weird to find out when you're ta...

Niceness as usual, Taco!

A weird question...the road in the center of the picture - if anyone can confirm, is that Highway 62 that takes you from the 10 up into Yucca Valley ?

Big Bear ain't no joke..........er

Anarchist - been meaning to tell you how much I liked your photos! Really captures the terrain and overall feel of the area... thanks for taking the time to post 'em... Hike up - I remember you posting those TR photos - checked them again, so many great shots but i REALLY love these two https://eisp...

..... which makes me wonder: Taco, what south facing, snake-ridden, thicket-choked canyon, did you explore today ? :P :wink: Or did you just lay low and take your BBQ.... and one of these (the donut raft only you dirty dog :-) ) http://www.fav.com/images/1017_org.jpg up to the East Fork and enjoy th...

I REALLY like this idea. But I'll have to think about it, and find a photo when I decide on my spot. The Switzer Chapel site is the first that comes to mind, but then I love Mt Waterman too. hmmm..... I like that Switzer Chapel Cabin idea... Some interesting/dramatic topography would make for some ...

... where would you plunk it ? This fantasy land question is mainly based on the view you would have - so forget crowds or how tough it would be to get there with a case of beer and a sack full of burritos... Until I find that perfectly framed Ice House Canyon photo/location, I think I'd want to sit...

Hey, we've all been there, needing that corn dog fix to make it through the night. :lol: Getting that corn dog fix maaaaay get you through the night --- but chasing the high of last night sometimes shows up when the sun comes up... gives a new meaning to 'wake and bake'... http://static.giantbomb.c...

Ok, this is kind of cheating because it's a bit more 'mountains meet city life' --- but sometimes places like Big Bear are the gifts that keep giving... I think I'm gonna put the Sheriff's log, no pun intended, out of Big Bear on my reading list: ----------- Psych evaluation, 100 block of Winding La...

@outwhere: I was watching the radar today (couch-bound for various reasons), and it looked like Big Bear got hammered, but San Gabes got nothing. as usual, looks like I spoke too soon. I just saw the rain results from the inland empire. :shock: I thought since the rain was supposed to hit heavy on ...

I know this system is not out of our area yet but it seems like whenever the news sorta goes easy on the forecast, the storms end up going extra wild on us, like they did in Baldy Village the other month. So this time around, a few stations were saying this weekend's storm would really be one to wat...

RichardK, Ooops, I spaced and forgot to add the link/credit where I found this image of Kelly's Camp ---- a few pics here that I can't ever recall seeing and a nice 'gathering'/summation of the Baldy area/history: http://baldytrip.wikispaces.com/History ------- Arocknoid, you wrote three perfect sen...

Anyone want to invest a bunch of money so they can run drunk biker gangs out of.... ooops, I meant, Anyone want to invest a bunch of money so they can run a lodge ?? Like many places similar to Snow Crest, gone are the days when 'family fun' was the norm as opposed to hearing crack heads arguing ove...

...cause I sure woulda liked to end the day here... Actually I probably would have hiked TO this spot.....and spent the whole day (and night) at Kelly's Camp... Anyone else wish Kelly's was still around ---- or happy it's gone ??? http://baldytrip.wikispaces.com/file/view/kelly's camp 1930.jpg/51416...

If Im not mistaken the Long Beach Unified School District will most likely never reopen Camp Hi Hill Outdoor school (the former site of 'Opid's)..............
