EISPIRATEN

They didn't say when that photo was sent to the caller (just says "earlier in the hike"). Might be helpful to know what time. If it was afternoon, he seems to be looking north-ish.

I will review my photos this evening.

Yesterday I had a beef, bean and cheese burrito (spicy) from Burrito Express in Pasadena.

I had to take a nap afterwords.

Just saying.

Where is this?

Freaky red dog!

Wear the whistle around your neck or else it's useless when you can't get to your pack, etc.

Necro thread of the year 2021. Enjoy. An EisPiraten classic, 10 years later.

You need to chew your food more thoroughly man.

Yeah, like I said, I wouldn't want to come across that big guy.

Wildlife expert at Pasadena Humane says Racoon. I'd rather run into a bear than cross this racoon's path!

Anyone concur or disagree with this ID?

What critter made this pile in my driveway last night? It's about 5 or 6 inches long.

It's official...I'm lost without a map now.

You know, I wonder that if you're the type of hiker that gets lost, would a map do you any good? Would you know what to do with it? Is that AW's point?

You know I'm too old to know what that means.

Smsf is Sasquatchese for that sound Muttley makes when he doesn't like something.

Kind of looks like AW a bit.

Hmmm. Okay. No maps for you!

Be aware that you'll pass near Desert Marksmen Shooting range on your way from Emma To Cole. A bit disconcerting.

Nice TR. What route did the locals take to get to Eagle?

LOL

The nipple is some kind of bench mark (from 2008, not too long before Taco paid a visit)...

I propose to rename Mt. Baldy to "Big Boob in the Sky with a Wee Little Nipple" Mountain (or Mount Saint Boob for short). Who's with me? I like Wee Little Nipple. It really rolls off the tongue in a pleasuring manner. Taco beat you to it... https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobuck...

I guess I'll be the one to ask. After all it's the elephant 800lb gorilla in the room.

Did you actually see the sacred gorilla? THE Sacred Gorilla, or just a run-of-the-mill sacred gorilla?

Guerrilla perhaps?

So what happens when you drive your Tesla/Prius/Volt into 2 feet of water?

Nice TR!

IIRC the "by-pass" is just to the left of the falls, closer than you'd expect. I think my first try was too far left, so I backed down and tried closer to the falls. It worked so maybe that is the trick. Others hopefully will chime in.

Round Top offers grand views of the San Gabes. A worthy destination.

It's not your axe to take.

Winds are kicking up a lot of dust and ash...snowing again in Pasadena.

Got to wonder if a sleeping ember will start up.

You're so close I might decide to give it too ya, but not yet.

It's neither. Both are too far east, too high.
