EISPIRATEN

I know a housing development in Sierra Madre about which the locals are saying the same thing.

I think that is the longest post I have not read.

But the picture of the burrowing owls was really cool. Any idea what they are?

All scat, all the time

Johanna might know something about this. Then again, this might all be over my head!

Why do people hate golf courses? Listening to George Carlin too much?

Oddly enough, the road up to the Flats was open in December of 2009, the day they opened up ACH to the public. We drove from La Canada to Waterman (where it was snowing pretty decently). On the way back I noticed the gate was open to Barley Flats, so of course I drove up it. The terrain was burnt to ...

Nice TR. Epic stuff you guys do on the bike.

Not very helpful, but I thought there was a camp site in New Cuyama - Blue Sky or something like that.

I joined a bunch of trail workers today and hiked the whole length from top to bottom. ... We honored Matt Maxon by taking his GPS device on this trip. Barley Flat is the last trail he worked before he died, and he wanted to be the first to walk it again after the Station Fire.

Thanks for the ...

I think I'll go for a walk.

I feel happy!

I feel happy!

I'll message you the next time I go. You'll have to look the part and carry a McLeod or a shovel.

Sean at Bailey Canyon Waterfall...

Nice reading glasses Mr. Green.

Anyone ever tell you ... ?

That's cool to do it just on dirt roads. Reminds of when I went from Victorville to Las Vegas on just dirt roads (in a 4x4 SUV of course!).

Cool pics.

I agree with Burnham. Or definitely somewhere between Baden-Powell and Islip! lol

Mt. Baldy is still there? Huh. Who knew?

He actually goes up and gets in his bulldozer to work on repairs to Lift #1. They'll be ready for skiing this winter for sure he says.


Sorry but there is ZERO chance they are operating that chair this winter. I have seen it recently and the entire frame for the terminal is bent. The road ...

I talked to one of the investors/owners of Mt. Waterman this week. He reports that ACH is still closed (obviously) - so nothing new in that regard. But he did say that repairs to ACH at Mt. Waterman are going fast and that they "are doing a good job". The ski resort is in good condition except ...

Can't wait for the TR. TIA.

Everyone knows that Bob's your uncle!

It seems to me the satellite images of the Eaton Fire that were posted after the fire have now disappeared from Google.

More bad news from this trail 2026-05-09...

A 53-y.o. male died of an apparent heart attack this morning around 10am on the Mt. Wilson Trail.

A 53-year-old man died Saturday morning after suffering a medical emergency on the Mount Wilson Trail in the San Gabriel Valley, authorities said.

My point is that speculation is useless. Not that it is wrong or right or well intended. Doesn't do anyone any good.

Here's the sign at Three Points (circa 2011)...

I see some are speculating she knew about 10W04 to the south and turned left to go there. In the same breath you're arguing she turned left by accident. I speculate she didn't know shit about navigation. All of this speculation ...

I went up there today, they are working this section of trail. There were also some people further up the trail doing weed and vegetation removal in advance of the run near the connector trail.

Tuesday we drilled and installed additional eyebolts. Today they should be adding additional ropes ...

Third hand from SAR...gentleman was on outside edge of trail and stepped back to let someone pass, and stepped off the edge, hit his head on a rock which was fatal. He was just below the ropes, so they are irrelevent. He fell no more than 10' to the rock he hit his head on.

Freak accident. 66 y.o ...

I don't remember seeing ropes on this trail


0.4 miles past First Water, there is a sharp right hand turn at a ravine. The ropes are anchored to the rocks on the uphill side of the trail. The trail is a bit narrow and ledgy (slippery when wet).

Rope on center-left side of this picture. I think ...

I was up the trail this morning with the trail crew...no additional info available.
