Some of the pubs...

The final day along the coast...

Typical trail views (no particular order)...

Some pictures.

The western terminus in Winchester...


The eastern terminus in Eastbourne, 8 days later and in the rain...

Brief TR: My wife and I walked the South Downs Way in the south of England. 100 miles total and supposedly 12000+ ft of gain (depending on source). We walked it west-to-east, starting July 1st in Winchester, and finishing in Eastbourne on July 8th. Here's a screen shot of the trail map and elevatio...

Do a soil analysis to see why nothing grows.

Gosh, that'd be the first place to look for a lost person on Baldy. Perhaps at the time snow quickly obliterated all trace of him ending up there.

RIP

Deep fake.

My favorite pub in Bath, England. Put back quite a few pints here. Get your Ales & Stouts, Wines & Victuals at The Raven of Bath . https://www.theravenofbath.co.uk/ https://www.theravenofbath.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/raven-exterior-camra-2018_1800x.jpg https://www.theravenofbath.co.u...

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my refrigerator door. Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at ...

You have to eat it. Touching is not a problem with any mushroom. It doesn't take a lot, but a single mushroom can be your last. The toxin, amatoxin, is neither water not heat soluble, so there is no preparation that makes it other than deadly. The same toxin is in the destroying angel that GirlHike...

Crystal Lake has no outlet, right?

Islip Saddle?

Is he desensitized to humans?

Reminds me of one of my favorite "old man" jokes...

What's the difference between beer nuts and deer nuts?
Beer nuts are about 49cents and deer nuts are just under a buck.

Congrats on the accomplishment. Great trail.

WTF? Was the deer wearing pants?

Brilliant!

Well in all fairness it's not a uniquely human trait. We fancy apes just do it 'big style' since we use tools and shit. That's my big winner question of life though, which comes first: human initiated extinction (or mass depopulation), or the whole let's go fuck Europa up or whatever. I do wanna se...

Yes. It's what we do best. Lay waste to what's in front of us. Basic human nature. Don't fight it...embrace it. Like a cold beer.

Woot!

I skipped Markham and made it to San Gabriel Peak before everyone else. Here's a view of Markham from San Gabriel, but the resolution isn't high enough to see y'all who were on top of Markham (I could see everyone through the binocs though).

I bet you wish you had done this in 2010. lol

Nice!!!

Thanks for the info.

I had assumed the recent Nob fire was so named because it was near Gobblers Knob, But the name "Knob" fire was already taken. blah blah blah

Why does this remind me of Chinatown?

Sorry, no answers.

First impressions...

#1 is a waterfall (genius!)
#2 is somewhere in the high country (perhaps Buckhorn/Pallett/Will Thrall area).
#3 Mt. Lowe RR right-of-way maybe (from echo to Dawn Mine?)
#4-#6 Lytle Creek area?

It's nuts around here. But read, read, read and learn. Post ALL of you trips.

Googler beware.

https://www.robertstrongwoodward.com/Sc ... rails.html I don't think historical aerial imagery supports the theory that the Mueller Tunnel existed before 1942. I might create a different thread to address it thoroughly. But you could check the evidence by downloading the 1938 and 1952 aerials from ...
