EISPIRATEN

11 peaks and 15 hours - Congrats Rick! I don't know why Harwood was so windy and not most of the other peaks, but it was windy for us as well. We only did 3 peaks - that can be officially classified as nothing special.

Great pix and congrats - I'd like to know the story of that San G Tow rope!!! Bet it was windy up there Sunday

Good gawd Burchey! I am glad to hear you're not going to try that one solo. Rainier is nothing to fool around with, so I've heard.

It's been a long time since I've posted a trip report, :( I started at Icehouse parking lot and walked down to the village and up the Bear Canyon trail, then down the Devil's backbone, across the Three T's and down Icehouse Canyon. HEY THAT'S A GREAT IDEA, I NEVER THOUGHT OF DOING IT THAT WAY! :D :...

Beautiful pix, HJ! I agree w/Norma on all counts

Makes my knees hurt just thinking about the mileage

Yes they are two different anti-venoms so I assume 2 different vaccines. The Mojave venom attacks the nervous system and the Pacific venom attacks the cardiac system. Most vets will not administer the Mojave venom if your dog gets bit UNLESS you have the snake w/you that bit said dog. It's expensive...

Nice post and pix! So, did you have your dogs vaccinated for both the Mojave and the Pacific rattlesnake? May I ask where and how much? I'm really concerned Talus will get bit since she is a hunting breed.

Thank you!

[quote="Migolito:35135 I have always had my dogs snake avoidance trained...... Look for a white and orange Brittany with an as yet to be determined dog pack.[/quote] Can you tell me where you had them trained? I need to do that with Talus. Oh, and I bought her a pack at REI yesterday. She wants...

Uh...Norma....a Helo doesn't have wings.....

Cool pix Elwood! I need to get over and explore that area.

Ah, my new favorite subject! I have a 9 month old weimeriner, Talus. She made her 3rd Baldy summit last Sunday, and I feel bad that I didn't have her wind jacket on. With regards to booties, I've been told by a very knowledgeable source that the booties are needed in summer when the granite dust can...

Nice. Great pix, glad you got that one out of your head at last 8)

In the OC!!! I swear that he was the hairy bearded dude in the vintage MBZ that cut me off this AM whilst I was trying to merge onto the 405 Northbound at Alicia Pkwy. I kept staring in my rear view at him and some older, hairy bearded dude. (no offense, Taco - but there aren't too many red-bearded ...

I saw the search & rescue helocopter yesterday...wondered what was up. Also saw 2 SAR vehicles at the Baldy Fire Station. This guy could be holed up anywhere out there!

LOL Ryan! I have a winch...its the broken axles, bead locks and wheel issues that I worry about :? Wheeling alone isn't smart, but Anza Borrego isn't too difficult. I can probably get a few Jeepers to go. I will send you a PM with more details.... I've been wanting to go there before it gets too hot...

Taco wrote: ↑Tracie, are there any parts of our deserts here in SoCal you wanna explore?

You bet, Taco! We just have to be careful not to get into anything too technical in the Jeep unless we have another Jeep around to bail us out if there's breakage.... chit happens!

I did a little driving last week...



Now it's time to get back to hiking 8)

Burchey!!! You've outdone yourself this time! Sure am glad you survived to post this most excellent TR. I guess when summer rolls around you'll be solo up on Denali with the Grizzley bears?

Excellent! I'm going to miss the party Glad you all put this together. I know he will be feeling the love...

I think I read somewhere that the God Aetherius was in the lizard family...

Burchey! You're definately making the most of the spring season. Nice work, glad you didn't get rolled by that avi 8) Thanks for sharing the pix.

Ditto that

Beautiful pics, Jim. I'm glad you guys made it up there before the change of the season.

OMG just saw this and am laughing for the first time today

Too funny. HJ you're a riot!

Congratulations on a very difficult route. I'm staying off those black diamond routes and sticking to the bunny slopes I live on a diet of chocolate and red wine, not wheaties and jungle juice!

Wait, is that Norma beating on Mark when he's down - AGAIN???!!!! LOL!

pretty photo of the wind patterns...the patient - er not !

LOL! Beautiful photos Dave! We missed you and Phil on Sunday, but then again, we needed more human sacrifice....so guess it was safer you weren't there

LOL. Mark failed on form again...



I think she finished the job this time!
