EISPIRATEN

Can you link to the AI's or MTB source for the name? I can't find it anywhere. According to this MWBA history page, Ken Burton rode horseback patrols in the Arroyo Seco, but they don't mention him doing trail work or having a dog. Maybe the guys on the MWBA crew will know...

Thanks for the report and photos. I bet the sling is for the anti-rope people who only use slings.

And it was added to Peakbagger by "neuro hacker" whoever that is.

Anyone know the lore behind the name "Wella's Peak?" Around here we usually refer to minor bumps by their elevation profile, such as Point 2999 or Point 3111, depending on which bump you consider to be "Wella's." Also, calling it a "peak" is a bit much considering its sub-300' prominence. Besides, I ...

Thanks for the report and photos. Several years ago I forgot my sunglasses on Brown. Did you find them?

Thanks for the report and photos. If I ever meet a genie and he grants me wishes, I'm going to use one on you and make you eat and drink properly on these trips. You scare me with your heart issues. I'm glad you saw a rosy boa. I've only seen one as well.

You mentioned a video but I don't see it. Did you mean a photo? Thanks for the cool report and pictures.

Congrats, and thanks for the report! Looks like an amazing hike with a class 3 notch too. The notch needs a better name though. And if you're ever in a pinch you can sign a register with your blood.

Thanks for the report and photos. It's a pretty rocky area, so that and the moisture often saves some of the higher zones. It would be interesting to see if some of that sediment has cleared out yet

Thanks for clearing up Lewis Crown. Enjoying your minor trips. But I thought this was going to be about an immortal child's hiking adventures.

The deceased has been identified as Mark Smythe, a composer for the movies.

His score for Hulu’s “The Reef: Stalked” was nominated for awards in both America and Europe. According to his IMDb page, Smythe worked as a composer on other films including “Unfallen,” “Love You Like That” and “Boar ...

Thanks for the report and photos. And thanks for placing a sticker on the register box. The thing about going to Ross is that I kept thinking of the return climb, so it was a mental drain in addition to the physical aspect. But at least there wasn't any poodle dog back then. Seems like this hike ...

Congrats on summiting Shasta! That is pretty amazing how everything looks so close in the pictures. Imagine being on the actual moon and trying to gauge distances! Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report and photos. I too dreaded the return climb over Baden-Powell, when I hiked this route many years ago. I ran out of water and my hands started going numb. But I met a friendly couple on the PCT who fed me soup and I lived to tell the tale, haha.

I'm catching up on TRs and wanted to congratulate you on this big climb. Looks scary! Thanks for the report and pics.

The only FS that exists are the ones that carry guns and tell you to pay for your camp site.

Thanks for sharing the story. I only saw him once. He was sleeping and/or mumbling to himself so I didn't bother him. His cave was decorated for Christmas though.

After I die I'd like to be reincarnated as a psychopath who finally puts an end to this nonsense. And I'll be one of those clever psychos who never gets caught and can have a normal family life--with a pet dog who loves me.

When you find enough gold, can you bury it and draw a map for an Eispiraten treasure hunt? Thanks for the reports!

We need to train you on the machete. It will increase your badass factor by at least five points. Thanks for explaining your gear!

How plausible is it that she made that sequence of mistakes? Each individual mistake is plausible, but all of them together? <shrug> I have no idea how to judge the mind of a lost person in distress.

As someone who has been lost and in distress in the high country of the San Gabriels, I think it ...

I searched the internets for images from the Beijing Star that day. Didn't find anything. But a friend of my barber's cousin's step-brother was on that ship and said he saw someone matching Monica's description!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like fun. The government has classified my old tracks as "TOP SECRET," but maybe I'll crack open the dusty laptop and see if anything can be declassified now.

Making the scene feel much like a Twilight Zone episode, the whole time we walked past those developments we only saw one person, and heard no sounds or saw any evidence of life even though we were just feet away from many homes. No cars being driven. no aromas of breakfast, no kids playing, no ...

The medical examiner and KTLA have identified the deceased as John McIntyre.

On Monday, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office reported the victim was John McIntyre, who died from blunt force injuries.

Thanks, but I've already covered my wall with the clues from this case. What do you think, am I about to solve it or what?

If you were a scientist and found Bigfoot hair on the beanie, would you put that information in your report?

Sometimes I edit posts in order to trim unnecessary quotations. It is not necessary to quote an entire post to which you are replying, and doing so clutters up the thread. It's easier, however, to do the editing myself rather than to train members on the proper quoting etiquette. So, please carry on ...
