Second mine opening? You don't mean the upper entrance to the Dawn, but a second mine? Did you look inside?

Whoah. A tidy little trip.
I'm curious what you wore, and what condition it returned home in.
Ever use gaiters? Poles? Machete? Katana? Front-end loader?
Millennium: You rock.

Don't know where you're talking about. But if it's like every other canyon affected by the fire, you'd have better luck with a shovel than a crowbar.

I've spent hours reading both these guys blogs in the past. Good reads by experienced adventurers. They're highly conscious of cleaning up other anchors in Ventura county that could harm the dumb condors. So I'd posit that David Stillman, at least, knows wtf. If they felt confident they could do thi...
