. Just look at the cuddly wuddly lions. AW, you are too late in posting the cuddly-wuddly looking kitties!!! We would have enjoyed them had we not first seen the big T video, now its scary kitty fear time to be in the forest! CM, please remove the video or nobody will dare go to the forest anymore....

Wow, this is really odd...... What the heck is going on out there?? Too many kitties and not enough food in the burned forest area to sustain them so, out of desperation, since they like to catch live moving food, the civilized food(humans,dogs,cats) is becoming more attractive so here they come to...

Sounds beautiful, any pictures? We did this last year in the snow (Feburary) but only went the other direction up and back. I prefer the silence that permeates the canopy along with the fall foliage scattered over the trail and the whispering sounds of the water as you cross or pass by the streams....

Once an a while I kind of turtle out and hike with a small group of people that like to hike long, fun places like this one to the top of Wilson. It all started on sunday morn around 8am; being able to find a parking spot on the Chantry Flats parking lot was a pleasant surprise; where were all the A...

OK, that does it. I'm not going outside ever again. Oh yes you will go out again! From now on you will have to drink your beer or take a big pharma anti-anxiety candy before you start the hike as to forget who will be around the forest watching you! If you want to get more protective put on a kevla...

Hey CM, bingo! you hit the catpot!!!, what a show!!! and what a scare to the weak of kitty-heart! Perhaps you could tell us the area so it can become desolate from any of the SGMDF people after they see this awesome video! Maybe you should post a warning such as "don't view this vid as it will ...

A little huffy puffy with some nice ladies on the ridge eh? Sounds like a fun hike :lol: Well, once you reach the Korean banquet bench"manzanita ridge", and you don't feel you have lead feet or hardly struggled to breathe, or you don't need to lie on the bench for a recuperating nap, then...

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/ ... ipse-feed/ Goddess willing, I'll be on Baldy...[/quote The Beast isnt willing to be flash-frozen so I wont go there....... Well, if you could ever be so nice and give us a report and some pics if you decide to go on the Ski Hut Trail; If you know the area...

Thanks for the info, Alan! How long did it take you roundtrip from trailhead to summit and back? I smell a newbe here! Hey, you need to tell us which animal you relate with as you move your body around the forrest: Turtle: easy does it, care free hiking here, looking for any excuse to make long sto...

Devastating loss for the family (lost a son to bike accident 3months ago), the forrest and all the people that came in contact with Richard through his outing trips and the trail work he did on various places in the forrest. He was like a forrest himself, welcomed everyone and cared for everyone to ...

How about a warm AB at 10,064' in the pitch black of night, accompanied by a steady frigid wind, followed by a harrowing descent of your very own backbone (also sans slippage)? Plz by all means drop down(3000') for a visit! I am sure some wanna be mountaineer or a foolish humanoid will have a hell ...

I like your style

The Devil does not like your style!, you chill the AB?!!! It has to be kept and consumed hot as hell if you ever want to enjoy a hellish buzz ride. The Devil admires your ability to drink the AB on top of Islip and then be able come down the mountain with no slippage..... 666

Accolades for graffiti? What are you, some kind of beast??!! No!!! just the Devils advocate; the lingering broken chunks of concrete is more of an eyesore than the art work in the water tank. The circumference of the water tank gets smaller each time they paint over it thus preserving the the art wo...

The prefect trail to enjoy a great hike and to keep you in shape during the winter months. The drive up to Baldwin Av on sunday revealed lots scattered tree parts on the edge of the road and the sidewalks as you made your way to the trail head. Right from the start the trail looked like it was clear...

After a few sips of the the bastard, the bitterness disappears,the buzz kicks in and you are in heaven! A little chill time can help to take off the hellish edge.
Enjoy!

One very popular trail for all kinds of folks to go up to the historic Echo Mountain site. Being near the city, able to go up higher at different directions and a regularly well -volunteer- maintained trail, it never seems to bore me every time I go there. On the winter weekends, past noon is the be...

Concerning the register disposal: once moisture, rodents and some careless humans turn the register into trash, the best course of action is to take the booklet and or loose papers file them in the backpack and when you find the nearest trash can file them in there before they become airborne and po...

Managed to find a parking spot near the entrance to Sam Merrill trl,- now known as the 405 trl for its weekend overuse and with a hope of hitching a ride to Pinecrest rd gate for the trek up the toll rd to Henninger Flats. A nice hiking couple offered to drop me off as they were going towards Pasade...

Hey uncle Drink Up, raising a glass of beer to your health and great thank you for making this trip possible to be able to bring back such great pics and stunning views of BT wilderness and beyond for all us to see and enjoy!!! A clear, sunny and wintery warm day, you were so lucky to be up there an...

Been to East Fork many times for the mountains, the river, the gold mines, but the canyons were always quickly glanced as I drove by on the 39. Always, I wondered what magic hides in these rarely traveled places. Taco and company, thank you for giving us a glimpse in that special place and I hope yo...

For a more saintly look I need a popes hat! The city rats are always afraid and no hikers use the Wilson rd, they all walk up on a trail..
The hike was awsome!!!! 666

The meltdown plan:start at the A-crest hwy and the Upper Big Tujunga rd where the Silver Moccasin trl heads down to West Fork camp. Then up to Wilson via Kenyon Devore trl. Parked the car at Red Box and hoped for a ride to the start of the trek.In no time to my surprise, I got a ride from a snowboar...

UPDATE: I was around the area today, so I went by the tunnel to investigate the progress. No one being there I managed to go close to the work site and I saw the work is going on the west site. There is this rock and roll gully in the making so when something gets dislodged from up high, it all come...

This is the last weekend that the cafe will remain open, after that they will close the place down along with the gate so no more an easy drive to the parking lot. When winter hits, the road gets icy and they will not bother to maintain it cause the liability issue involved. I want to go up there on...

Well, when mother nature blanketed the mountain stage in white, they got stage freight and did not go. Hey, if thats the case, plz go there this weekend it should be an easier trek. Going to BP in one day its very tough, you could try to go as far to Throop and back. Beyond that it roller coasters u...

I grew up in the country side where part of our youthful entertainment was any wild and some domestic animals were a fair game to be put to death for no apparent reason. We were rather limited in our ability to exterminate all wild living animals by our weapons of choice: the hand-arm rock launcher ...

You need to be aware of the N and S words! Thats where all the trouble lies as you try to move the body with extra weight on a variable terrain. In a split second your winter fun can be over. There is plenty of North, Shady and steep trail in this area that you have to be aware as you try to reach t...

The historically went to the hell when that bitch burned the forest down! So now its time to play the winter ACH closure game. Where will the next closure be? Take the opportunity now and go for a scouting drive, look around where is that section that can not stay put when the water comes pouring do...

A great summery day brought me back to Mt Baldy via the ski hut way. Having been absent from the high country for two months, the huffy-puffyness kicked in as soon as I left the fire road and ascended the ski hut trail maintaining the 2.5 hrs pace to the top. High country environment is a double wha...
