EISPIRATEN

i have the same stove and love it. mine has that shaker so it is easier to clean, but still needs regular maintenance.

Lots of peaks to bag in Washington. Good Luck!

maybe you did see Elsinore then... What do you mean days like this will be over soon????

great pics Tim, that looks like a great route. It sure is nice to be up high on such a clear day. I think you were probably seeing lake Mathews rather than Elsinore.

how would you compare the difficulty of this route to the bowl???? about the same? more technical? steeper???

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind.

awesome pictures.

my buddy and i walked up the regular trail with boots and a trekking pole each last Sunday with no problems. It was his first time on baldy. saw people heading up, just below the summit, in nikes and shorts.

My buddy and I got to the top about 9:30 this morning. I believe we were the first people there, and I didn't see a GPS anywhere. Though I didn't look around for one either. I wish I would have seen this before I left this morning, I could have looked for it. I did see Taco on my way down, hopefully...

I wonder if we will get a trip report?

Yeah the tent I brought was a family car camping type tent, not built for wind, or any bad weather for that matter. I slept alot better than I thought I would in the car. (96 civic) Amboy was awesome I am glad to see your pictures, our battery died when we were at hole in the wall. The lizards were ...

My wife wanted to see some wildflowers so we went out to Mojave this past weekend to do a little sightseeing. This was my first trip to the desert (beside driving through it). We camped at Hole in The Wall. The winds were so strong when we arrived Friday night that we couldn't set up our tent, so we...

Congratulation Taco!!! What would you estimate the steepest slope to be?

the climb from the Dawson/baldy saddle to the top of baldy is a real ass kicker.

That sounds like a great trip. Lots of driving to set up the shuttle!!! Do you have any estimate on the mileage and gain????

My GPS does the same thing. Ever since they moved up day light savings time, my GPS is off by and hour for a few weeks. There doesn't seem to be anyway to change the time on it.

bummer about your camera. I couldn't believe how fast those clouds blew in. I made it back to my truck at 11:30 and didn't see any snow or rain anywhere on my way home. I have also met Shin. I had a good conversation with him on the way down from the summit last winter.

glad I started early. what wrong with the bowl taco??? everyone loves the bowl

ouch!!! that is crazy.

Started out from manker flats at 6am, got to the hut about 7:15, had a snack and I was off. I went up the middle of the bowl. It was more like walking up stairs than walking up a slope from all the foot prints. I got to the summit at about 9. Summit was very cold. The air temp was 20 degrees, but th...

its the same thing. don't ask me why, but it is.

have you taken the gully taco???? I always think about it but have never done it.

Unfortunately he was found dead west of falling rock canyon today.

I walked up to the ski hut this morning. I intended to goto the summit but I was in a rather lazy mood. I expected a least a little new snow, but there wasn't really anything new below the ski hut. There may have been a few inches up higher, but I think that storm yesterday was to warm and it rained...

I have to agree that the 57 to the 210 is way better than taking Euclid. I live and san clemente and it takes 1:30 to get to manker. (in the early am) Though on the way home i usualy take the 10, so i can stop off at Chipoltle on Mountain and reward my self with a gut full of barbacoa. ummm

That igloo is awesome. I really like the front porch bench seating!!! Where did you guys get the sleds?

backpacked up the south fork again to dry lake, then onto San G. Took the ridge that makes the eastern edge of the jepson bowl up, then walked to summit. There was about 3 more feet of snow at dry lake compared to when I was there a month ago. weather and snow conditions were perfect.

Glad your Ok He219. I was nervous watching your video waiting for the crash!!! Glad we didn't have to see you getting stabbed.

Nice pics dvansoye. That trail is a real but kicker in the summer, and even more so in the winter. Congratulations on being the 100th member!!!!

I have participated in a hike lead by Terry and found him to be a good leader. ODC is very clear that everyone should know their own limits. I feel bad for Terry, the lady that fell, and also the person that decided to go ahead. I don't think you can blame anyone involved, it was an accident. As Aug...
