The rest is a surprise. who likes surprises this early in the morn? I don't! So Ill have my own surprise for you all; its called the bailing out of the freak race show and onto: the easy stroll-walk to the bridge; the quick exit- a walk up to rattlesnake; the go along with the show then exit-go to ...

Mr T., can you be a bit more informative about the race on Sunday? Like telling us when it will start and finish and bit more info of whats going to happen so we know what gear to bring. For some, there might be time to do something xtra maybe after the race if it starts and finishes insanely eaaarl...

Drove on the ACH all the way to Vinnie Gap then on to the snowy trail in order to reach the summit. Kicked it up a notch and used trail shoes with no claws either way and it kicked my bud! But it was an awsome workout in core control in order to avoid any unwanted rides! Enjoyed the great views at t...

I might just change the venue.. Yes! yes! yes!; You and the rest, all like the Baldy Bowl playground thing but this aint going to happen this yr so lets move on to the San Bernies northside- South Fork Trail, its a sure winner! A bit further from Baldy but it faces north and has all the white you n...

WOW! thanks for the link... "if we have a lot of luck, are physically and emotionally in shape, we can succeed " " For me the world never finishes....." "the important thing is to walk, to walk, to walk...." Kinesis Have been pissed off at my father for telling me to my...

We have never seen a trail project done at the Gabes from this A.P. racket. I hope someone can tell us how much the administrative costs are! Double taxation for sure, along with the deceptive so called parking tickets... 666

The group hike commander has turned into a captain Ahab obsessing not over a whale but the desire reach the W. monument at the San Bernardino Mts. I am trying to stall the trek until spring arrives with its usual green growth, running waters, warm temps and a chance to go a bit further on the hike. ...

Had you done this trek before the fire you would have done ok in 8hrs. Unfortunately after the fire things have changed and if you are an overambitious first timer to this area then this is what happens to ya; speed and greed is very disorienting! You should have called it a day at the Red Box or at...

Nice reward at the top! I want to see ya do the trek at 10 am in the summer and see if you have any desire to drink any beer! I plan to do it when it is a nice warm, clear, day and the terrain is green, the field of lupines are in full bloom around Hastings pk and the views of the valley to the ocea...

Nice, enjoyable, uneventful and tough rock an roll hike thru the the Bear Creek area! From the upper section you get to see what the Gabes will look like after 10yrs, not a great sight, but things move on.. When you drop in the creek floor its where all the fun begins. This time of year is the most ...

SO GUYS, SUNDAY FEBRUARY 26TH. SHOEMAKER CANYON ROAD. YES YES? Seeya 6am sharp. Comandante Taco, you must be mucho loco to expect the people to show up this early. At this hour, the children are just returning back home frm an all night partying and the adults are trying to make up some lost zzzzs ...

The prize is you get to drink outta East Fork. On a busy weekend. Daipers floating about. Commander of the amazing adventure race: I plan to be on the winning team so it will be beer for me!!!:D'':lol:' Now, is there going to be a trek to Rtlesnake to fetch something back or go down the river for s...

I just hope we all get a trophy. All of us. I totally agree with you, all of us should get a liquid trophy; Beer for the winners and the losers will have to drink the East Fork water! As a general reward price we could pitch in and get a keg or more and enjoy a cool drink after the race....:':D' 666

NM, the whole trail should be fine, with some minor problems?; just go out there and try to do all(insane),half(freak show), or sections (wise) of it and then you can put it all together! You can also contact the AC100 race people for Im sure someone might know. I see them all time out there now tra...

Would like to know what will the conditions be like for this Sat, for a hike to the monument and maybe to the top of Bernie from Angelus Oaks?(trip# 46 on the Robinson bk)
the main concern is the snow level and if it can be done without traction aids.. 666

Gotta love Iron! :D The key is to go when the weather is right. Anything above 80º and you'll be hating life before you're even half way there. Time it right, and it's easily one of the best treks in the SGs. the right key is to go when the weather is above 80, strap on the 5lits, start at 8am, dri...

with such a coveted ride by the ripoff specialists, you should make sure that Taco never takes his eyes of the ride again! Alls well that ends well!........666

Iron is poopy.

Here is the evidence from one of the registers on top of Iron; you are indeed an avid Iron hater!.... 666

Nice try, but you cant convince me that Iron is nothing but a brutal butt-kicking for hours and then right at the top it gets awesome, but by then its too late and the hike is just trying to wet your beak and sends you back down. Sincerely, NHPS club member AW, in your statement, you remove any pro...

High winds were forecasted for the area so I thought, it would be a nice fun trek to Iron to see the snow at Baldy and the surrounding area. With some cooling winds to go along, to take the hellish edge from all those uphill climbs, how could I not go there! The unusual 5:30 ring did not help me to ...

low waterflow too....yuck. AW, all of you canyon people got spoiled from last years storms and the plentiful runoff that has lasted beyond the normal run time. If we dont get much winter this year you are gona be saying YUUUUCKKKKK to a lot more places! This rope cyn allows lots of newbies to try t...

You didn't miss much :( Dave, snow is at a premium this year around the front country of the ANF. That pic looks like is from the north-side, if you were lucky to go up by the Sturd Camp way, you might have encountered a few more patches of white, since that area faces north, it is the most wintery...

Wow!!! a courageous trek to the crunch-land Baldy; thanks for the pics, real good job for us to see. I would have liked to have been there and done a bit of crunch walking myself but after a while I would have been the crunch material!!!- 20 degrees- a bit too cold for me!.... 666

With the way up high places forecasted as kind of frigidly cold and windy, I had no desire to enter that kind of terrain for now, so I tried to entertain a desire for an Iron trek due to the cool weather conditions and the soil being compacted after the rain on sat, thus giving me a chance for a fas...

AW, many thanks to ya for all the fun, informative and educational material that you have posted in the past, the now and the future(in case I forget).
I really appreciate reading something different from just a regular trail report!!!... 666

Hello. I am planning to do Skyline Trail to San Jacinto this summer. . This statement scares ta hell out of me! uuhhhum, here comes trouble! So, it would help a lot if you come forth with some personal info about ya so we can tailor our sage replies to fit your needs better. Are you a: child40; giz...

The magic "Korean" bus, brought all these nice people to Mount Wilson Trl at the OC to partake on a -New Years- hike and feast. Lots of cool stuff was cooking on a mysterious stove for me; thus I call on the grand stove master H. J. to enlighten us about this set up. The people looked like...

We need a winter icon as a humble offering from all of us to mother nature in order to grant us a blanket of white on the mountains. Just like the the originator of this thread mentioned; fall weather pic, lots of time in the canyons and still summer time treks on top of Baldy! This monotonus toil ...

What kind of move are you requesting with this? You need to be more specific; we want SNOW, the white stuff that is and nothing else.
There are spirits that hang out in the canyons, you can hear them them whisper to each other from afar... too much time in the canyons....... 666

Hey lilbitmo, awesome job! as you were able to hang with the rope pros, on such a tough trek: you inspire other adults to wanna try out a bit less demanding course than what you did. A true canyon man!..... 666
