EISPIRATEN

You should do this on a tricycle or maybe even a bigwheel one of these days. Or not. WTF do I know.

Good shit indeed.

That's a good quality item!

Sure.

Between Sturtevant Camp and Mt. Zion (Dec. 2009)...

I think this is a Manzanita...on the Mt. Wilson Trail (May 2008) after some fire in the Canyon.

Hawk.

My fluids. I keep.

Let it be known that I will not be reading any further responses to this thread.

I think this thread needs to float to the top once again. Not sure why.

Have you ever gone from 2120 up to the Gooseberry Motorway? I've been eyeballing that route for years but it doesn't look like the path extends above 2120. I have not gone up beyond 2120. This was my first time up to 2120 actually. I was eyeballs deep into the marine layer and couldn't see more tha...

Nice pic of you there at the end of your post HikeUp. ;) [seriously: cute Corgi -- at least I think it's a Corgi] Dang! They've really beefed up the gate at Pinecrest -- or should I say the Pinecrest Federal Penitentiary (judging by the look of it)? HJ That's Sadie the Pembroke Welsh Corgi - no lon...

my bad

LOL. Search the forum for posts about the infamous ice house canyon strap on, if you dare.

So I started at the eastern terminus of the Altadena Crest Trail and went westbound for about a mile then went off trail up to high(ish) Pt. 2120+. Then returned. A whopping 3 miles round trip with 1000' gain. Pinecrest Gate... 20220617_074914.jpg Start of Altadena Crest Trail (point A on map)... 20...

Apples. I remember reading that somewhere while googling it a couple of days ago.

I'll try to post some kind of a trip report because you are no doubt just dying to hear about the CNF. Actually I'm curious to hear something from that neck of the woods. I haven't been there in years. We'll have to quarantine your TR though for 10 days unless it tests negative for Covid National F...

Yesterday, the US National Weather Service had "areas smoke" listed in the forecast. Today, the forecast says "sunny," then "clear." I also notice on Inciweb -- https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/article/8151/69105/ -- the following: Sheep Fire Update June 15, 2022 0900...

Well, this is weird. I asked around on Reddit, and a person who said he was a volunteer at Grassy Hollow said that the road to Lupine was open if you have 4WD. Dunno what to think. I guess if the smoke clears and all that, then I could go but just be prepared to do the road walk. If the road is ope...

Okay, I went in a short way...

$25 bucks!!! Holy crap. I'm mean, shit, that's a fucking lot of money.

Cool place. Lots of history (that I don't know about , but would love to know more of). I peeked into that rabbit hole though and saw some vintage pictures of the site...

Didn't go any further than that though.

Welcome.

Awesome find. Serious cool factor. :) One of the big debates when I was a kid was between aluminum vs. plastic water bottles/canteens. Plastic was frequently brittle but pretty quickly improved as I got older and eventually won out for the most part -- although lately I'm seeing a lot of people hik...

@HikeUp , nice pic! Dang, that goes back a ways. I still have that backpack although it's looking pretty ugly these days. That was a good hike that time -- except that Will was really freaked out about the slidey descent on the way back. How are you doing? We actually set out with possibly doing a ...

Long time no see HJ! I think the last time I saw you was 10 years ago on our hike to Pine from Guffy... P1110800.JPG Sorry no answers to your questions (other than many many years ago - 1990ish - I made it to the Pine TH in my Accord), just wanted to say hi. Hope you get out there...post a TR if you...

I started at the Altadena Crest Trail Tanoble Trailhead and wandered westward over to the Gooseberry Motorway . Went up that to the water tank, then took the Old Edison Road up to the Lone Tree Trail at the first set of power line towers. Then down the Lone Tree to Gooseberry and back to Tanoble tra...

That's cool.

Remember...Pictures or it didn't happen!!! Or maybe something happened that you don't want to share and then no pictures is okay.

I wish I could. Already have commitments for that day. I'd also recommend The Back Abbey in Claremont for beers and grub.

And on the way down near the campground areas. Beware of Area 52!!!
