EISPIRATEN

just got a message from a usfs packer, that the news story about a pct hiker on baden powell was a false alarm.
no info as to who called he police.
all is well on baden powell.

news reported that on sunday 9 am police received a report of a hiker who went over the edge on the ridge on baden powell.
I think this was a PCT through hiker.
anyone else read anything about this?
thats a drop off, on the eastern side, of several thousand feet.
search continues.......

news reported yesterday that after the recent snow, ( sun,monday and today), that an adult hiker went over the edge on baden powell ridge sunday morning.
no news yet, search -rescue is ongoing. no sign of PCT hiker.

I would suggest crampons and ice axe this week end, just to be safe.

your welcome.
It's funny you should mention it because I was just about to buy a Oregon 550t as well, glad I saw this first.
cant wait, looks real cool

Check out the blog discussion at the link. The answers and question posed to the delorme design staff are extensive. the extra services cost extra. but a cool thing is that the gps has a mesh 802XXX network, so you can send and receive messages,share maps send coordinates between users up to a mile ...

I saw this blog and was impressed. Delorme is offering a new GPS pn-60w that has a mate spot messenger module. but here is the cool part. you can use the keyboard buttons of the Delorme to type in custom text and send it to anyone you want. so instead of just having two preset messages, you can ente...

Sorry, should have been more clear.
I live just down from the base of Islip.
I was up from vincent gap on the weekend.

MTNMAN, feel free to ignore my posts.
frankly I'm tired of your snotty rude responses.
please keep them to yourself.
Your constant cheap shots are getting old.

Has anyone contacted the sierra club or the ANF ferengi about this.

This was noted in the defect with spot message but just wanted to make sure the title showed up on the list. Spot messenger has recalled their new spot 2 messenger sat beacon device. go to their web site and follow the news recall link in the center of the page to get access to their return form. yo...

yup you are correct.
the spot 2 messengers have been recalled because of battery problems.
they are issuing return info.
go to spot.com and follow voluntary return procedures to get spot replaced. do not use it.

I can see it from my kitchen window.Nice and snowy, hope you own good pair of heavy duty gaiters, but view is stunning. Clouds are low, mountain is high, makes for wonderful pictures. Blue ridge pics are stunning this time of year as well. take mountain high lift to top of blue ridge, with cross cou...

at least he didnt have a spot messenger, to push the button on.

pleasant view ridge getting dumped on, snow and ice.

ANF announces that angeles national forest hwy closed for incoming storm from tonight untill storm ends. other closures also incude Little tujunga and big tujunga canyon roads.
snow is a comming along with big rain. eh

I recently ordered a spot 2 messenger, to replace my old spot. and when it arrived, I installed the batteries and it was DOA. I opened the back case cover, to remove batteries to send the unit back, when I noticed that the springs for the battery contact on the positive side of the batteries were no...

angeles national forest highway opened this morning, will drive it tomorrow.

My point here was that we are the ones who confirmed the official boundary lines of juniper hills, that were accepted by Los Angeles county planning commision, and the Los Angeles County govt. as the actual boundary lines of the town of juniper hills. so when discussing this point, the boundary line...

Thank you, for the thoughtful response. I am a member of the juniper hills community association, and personally worked on the final bounderies for the town of juniper hills years ago. that were voted on by voters and accepted by Los angeles County, and has its own town council. The devils s punchbo...

I have to admit , I got a little emotional on his thread. should have been more laid back, just gets frustrating when someone try's to tell me they think they know my actual (literally) back yard, when they live on the other side of the mountains, 50 miles away, quoting office files. One of my issue...

sorry didnt see the post about the truce
I'm done

I am a member of the juniper hills community association, and personally worked on the final bounderies for the town of juniper hills years ago. that were voted on by voters and accepted by Los angeles County, and has its own town council. The devils s punchbowl is in juniper hills, lewis ranch is i...

every trail except big rock creek are entered from juniper hills burkhart trail is in juniper hills pleasantview ridge is in juniper hills littlerock creek is in juniper hills national desert trail is in juniper hills alimony trail is in juniper hills . YOU NEED TO BUY A MAP, OR LEARN TO READ THE ON...

both littlerock creek and big rock creek are in juniper hills, I do get out, just not from the south side. to be precise though, big rock creek is actually in Valyermo 1/2 mile from juniper hills. But from my window, I can see big rock creek and alimony ridge. both are about 8 to 10 minutes from my ...

The controlled burn info came from the forest service fire commander after being asked several times it it was true, and he said it WAS TRUE, THERE WERE BURN PERMITS ISSUED FOR THAT DAY, AT THAT LOCATION, but the forest service personnel did not utilize them. this info has somehow been forgotten by ...

No one is saying the firefighters who were actually directed to fight the fire, were not doing their job, what I am saying, is the management of the forest service needs a flushing. clearly the real story will never come out, and clearly the forest service management team screwed this fire up badly....

If profit is the motive, maybe the camp should be taken away from the church. It would be interesting for some organization to bid on taking over the camp from the church, and run by someone who is willing to MAKE A PROFIT. I'm afraid I have less then a little respect for the churchy organizations t...

I was born in Canada, and lived as a boy on lake Athabasca, when forest fires would start, they would move into the sub root system of the Muskeg and literally burn for years. creepy huh Fires of this magnitude will smolder for many months. It's nothing out of the ordinary, and is very rarely a thre...

I'm here in juniper hills and I see them and hear the packs every evening, and in the early mornings. I bring my animals in at dusk because they move down from the hills every night to feed on kitties and small dogs. the packs will sit just out of sight and call unsuspecting family dogs into the hil...

I live on the northern border of the station fire and I never saw one forest service truck until the fire was out.just dozer contractors and municipal fire fighters. I could see the fire from alimony ridge, there were no crews fighting the fire in sulfer springs. there were just helicopters, see my ...
