All The Walls Came Down

Did anyone see this documentary about the Eaton Fire aftermath in Altadena? I missed the limited screenings at Laemmle Glendale.

Re: Local walks

Isn't there a way to hike Johnstone Peak from La Verne? I also found similar local walks in Rancho Cucamonga, starting around Beryl Avenue, I think. Thanks for the report and photos.

Re: Lone Pine Peak

Thanks for the report and pictures. I recall Lone Pine being a fun scramble. I think I broke a hiking pole sliding down the snow-covered chute. Back when I did dumb stuff like that. But, I agree, the views are really nice from the summit.

This is great. Thanks for cleaning up the mountains! One of my better hauls was cleaning up an abandoned, bear-ravaged campsite at Upper Henninger. It was only a smelly two-person tent, though, plus a torn sleeping bag, a bunch of junky clothes and random garbage. The can opener and taser were ...

Re: Hiking Map Project

Nevermind. I see on your map the pop-up has a title and description.

So, we just need to decide whether the coordinates pin to the destination or starting point. That probably depends on what sort of hike it is.
