I enjoy your takes Packer Greg ... you seem to have some of the inside scoop. Some great stories too. Looking forward to more whenever you have it

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what do you mean by x-country travel? ---Not on trail??

Cougar - Great questions that were not asked or really addressed. Looks like they have been doing quite a bit of work removing invasives. The gal who did that presentation was pretty informative. Lot's and lots of trail work needs to be done as you can imagine. Oh ... also .... they're doing assesme...

Anyone go last night and what were your thoughts? Somewhat informative, but I could have done with half the wildflower presentation. Nothing definitive about re-opening of areas of the forest except "soon"...whatever that means. I think I got more out of talking to a few in the audience. G...

Newbie alert here. What's with the stickers? I packed out a Miller High Life bottle from Inspiration Point. Does that get me any cred?

Cheers!

Cool! Long Live The Boulder!

Any idea who the appropriate person to contact is to express my disdain for this decision? What a waste of $$$ and time.

You got screwed Hike Guy. Must have been fun sitting around behind that gate for an hour

Did you follow up with a complaint to SMPD?

What was the condition of the Mt Lowe trail camp? Is that trail officially open now? From Inspiration Point to Mt Lowe Trail Camp the trail was officially closed, but I only noticed that sign on the way back **wink wink**. The road from IP to Lowe camp was fine. Mt Lowe Trail Camp was in good shape...

"how slippery was castle?"

Castle wasn't slippery. Middle Sam Merrill as a bit icy in some areas though. Very nice hike!

I think that's the one. There was a very cool seasonal spring/waterfall to the lower right of that where the trail crosses a small ravine.

shreddy

Thanks HJ. There was a very nice seasonal spring/ waterfall by the one I saw today. The one I saw today was no more than maybe 3-4 ft deep.

Hey Folks, With no job assignment today I took a scramble - Lake Echo Castle Canyon Mt Lowe Trail Camp Middle Sam M. Trail Lake On the trail up to Inspiration Point via Castle Canyon I noticed yet another mining hole. I've seen a handful of these things in the front range. Were these done to test fo...

This is my kinda crowd! MORE SNOW. Flip flops will be here soon enough.

shreddy

Thanks for the input guys! Haven't gone super remote in the San Gabriels, but I've been places that sure feel like it. Thanks

shreddy

Just for fun what are some of the most remote haunts in the San Gabriels?

shreddy

Love that I found this board. Haven't been on this trail since I was about 13yo with a friend and our dogs. Coming out of Sturde I appreciated the footprints in the snow. Otherwise I would have turned back. Lot's of H2O Good times. Hopefully the link takes. Happy Trails.... http://www.facebook.com/a...

Thanks Packer Greg - So what if someone gets locked behind those gates @ 8:15PM? Call SMPD and they unlock it? sleep in the car?

shreddy

found my answer on the Adam's Pack Station site. One question though; Do they stick close to those times:

"The road to Chantry Flat is open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. All the Chantry hiking trails and camp sites are open"

shreddy

It's been awhile since I've done an early morning scramble in the Chantry area. Do they really lock the gates up every night and open them in the morning? Can someone please tell me the earliest I can venture up the road? I forgot. Want to be moving before the sun comes up.... 6:30AM

Thanks!

shreddy

Appreciate the trip report. Thanks!

shreddy

Very Cool!

shreddy

Thanks for all the info!

Did you ever get up the East Fork? I see a trail on the map. Is there even a semblance of a trail anymore?

HJ

Haven't made it up there yet. Please post if you do.

shreddy

Thank you Packer Greg. I appreciate your advice. I'll think about doing this one and will most likely bring a hiking buddy! My interest in BSA and all the little haunts has peeked these last few weeks Here's another BSA question: From First Water heading down canyon how close can one get to the rese...

Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the welcome Taco. No, I'm not Dirt Diva, but I know who you are referring to.
