Always a worthy destination!

How was the dirt road?

103 years ago today.

Some additional information about Eaton Cyn. (I think I posted a link to this before, but if I did it is probably broken now because I think he moved it to a new site).

Now that I've gotten up to speed...here is a pick looking up the south side (June 2008). No firebreak, just fucca plants and steapness.

And the view looking down (June 2008)...

Yeah Rico, I blame you for my lack of reading comprehension.

Use crayons next time.

Oh shit...I misread I think. He did go up then down the south side. doh

Thanks for the report.

If you like steep, try descending the south side of Lawlor. A scree ski through a gauntlet of Yucca - have fun!

Some google erf of the route I took...

This is great news. A fantastic route into that part of the San Gabes. In Dec. 2007 I did this exact hike. Saw absolutely no one until on my way back to the trail head (between the falls and the car park). It was 3 kids looking for the waterfall, which was a trickle. The trail was in great shape exc...

It's what Faes do.

Taco is a Fae.

WTF...if you're smart enough to build a dam, you are smart enough to know that sediment builds up behind every single god damn dam in the world. Ask any beaver and he'll tell ya so. If someone builds a dam and doesn't think of sediment removal then expect that dam to fail 'cause that guy's an idiot...

This is an amazingly peaceful place that very few know of or visit...hence the deer.

You build a friggin dam and you don't have an adequate plan (logistics, infrastructure and funding) to remove the sediment? Color me not surprised. They didn't clean the sediment that piled up behind Devil's Gate damn in Pasadena and lo and behold an intricate ecosystem thrived to the point where th...

So you had a choice and you went full-equine?

Cool. This trail was one of the first ones I did here in SoCal. Matt is awesome.

All safe. Good.

Here's a view of the telephone route...(2009)...

Did the horny newts have their way with you?

Cougarmagic once had a trail cam on that route (a long time ago).

He'd make his case just a teenie weenie bit more credible if he would stop conflating backpack tax and backpacking tax.

Still...I'm in the "go pound sand you f'ing moron" camp.

Nice TR Jake, thanks!

How cold does it have to get before the e-bike battery fails?

These are the best pics I've seen of the site. I briefly looked (unsuccessfully) back in '08 when the place was covered in snow.

Looking up ridge towards Yale...Harvard in background on left...

Hospital?
