EISPIRATEN

Nice report! Jake got some good pictures. Did he have a look in the mine at all?

LOL, Guess he ate the other foot to stay alive.

So Tecopa is between the Death Valley East border area and the Nevada State Line - from what I see on the map? Yep. Pretty much we're talking about right around in here - http://www.mojaveunderground.com/wiki/i ... Eagle_Mine Are any of these mines still active? Where the owners get pissed when &qu...

Scariest thing I could think of... anyone want a hug?

Fantastic video - I''m assuming that that mine with the metal cover has another way in or is that it? Everyone looked confused because it had been torched open some time ago and "they" had just locked ''er back up before we arrived. There are other entrances to different shafts, but they ...

Haha, thanks! My first time editing. I made so many stupid mistakes in the videography process, the next one's going to be ten times better!

Well this trip wasn't San Gabriels, but it was still a blast... My buddies and I do some abandoned mine exploring. I wanted to learn Final Cut - so here's a 9 minute flick of some highlights that I threw together. Lord of the Ring warning - lots of walking. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Q4LkYWDqqrU ...

Reminds me of this one.

Jim, if you're willing to carry 1.5 pounds, you might as well be carrying a hammock.

When I'm hiking at night I wave my pole in front of me wildly to get get the invisible ones.

If they big enough to see (daaaamn), I try to duck around them.

Well that was a strange night. I paid $30 for a friend and I to watch 8 or so short films, lying in a dirt field, on somebody's crash pad. The venue was essentially a camping meadow, a few portapottys, some easy ups for sponsors, and a tiki-torch walkway. I taught the "audio guy" how to fi...

The venue doesn't seem to be on any map, the event doesn't answer their phone, and the venue doesn't seem to HAVE a phone.

I'm going to take my SPOT. Trip report and movie review if I make it back alive.

I'm going to try to go with a friend of mine. I've got two seats for anyone who wants to carpool from Valencia.

Driving? Aw, gee, do I have to?

Thanks for the heads up on a hazardous plant. I learned something new.

Hey Robert, thanks for meeting up with me on such short notice two months back, the pack you sold me is great. (Here's some pictures from that trip: http://dav.me/gallery/v/hiking/LosAngel ... anGabriel/ ) Here's my pain points with REI: I'm always looking for caving/mining gear. Carrying a few piec...

missed out on Gold Dollar, so gotta do that still, almost think its easier to get to by going over Iron! Lets do it. I have a buddy who can get us vehicle access up Coldwater Canyon. We know a guy with a cabin just north of Widman Ranch. By the way, in your post you mention Hugh's site being down -...

Was this car at Vincent Gap or was it your shuttle car at Heaton Flat? It happened at Heaton Flat, I'd have been much more surprised too see that kind of vandalism at Vincent Gap. You sure that's a grave? It says 1975 on it. Check again (and I could be wrong here), but it looks like 1917 to me. I c...

Replies, replies… Maybe I'm just spacing out, but I don't think I've seen that. Where is it located? The old grave is a pretty big concrete slab, right in Mine Gulch camp. (Nearby that weird interesting concrete underground storage(?) pit) Picture - http://dav.me/gallery/v/hiking/LosAngel ... 8.jpg....

Report MXVIII: My three buddies and I have been pushing down the trail from below Vincent Gap since 11am, saw the glider wreck, Mine Fork camp, the grave at mine fork, the hut (with porn). We're all pretty much looking forward to relaxing at Fish Fork campground... we finally roll in, and find this ...
