Ah ty. That Gleason topic diverted into a pic of the Keller GPS site eventually. But I see your point.

Normally no, data transfer would be automated*, often by cell modem nowadays in remote sites in the western U.S. like these. But fire or other disaster could affect power/comms without destroying the station. So eyes are needed to confirm what's gone on and whether return to service is feasible. * E...

USFS confirmed the station at Keller Peak was destroyed in the Line Fire.
One near Buck Point is likely also a casualty of the Bridge Fire, but nobody has laid eyes on it yet.

Interesting. There was some aborted earlier activity on this.

Awesome. Ty for sharing

Man, I am in the wrong business. People will separate themselves from their money over the strangest things.

Oddly the ANF page still has the Adv Pass not accepted info. Shrugs.

Answering my own question, the sign is totally gone!

Referencing this sign.
I haven't been back since I took this photo. now-accepting-applications-for-a-conces ... tml#p65845

Forgive me if search has failed me. Has anyone been here since they started charging for parking? Can you park for free on the other (Blue Ridge Rd) side?

I think the fire followed by the rain is the main story. The Sturtevant camp page has some info if you go backwards in time.

Targeting Fall 2024 opening.

OMG I took a photo of the WEST P sign when I was up there a few years ago.

No, MH has a "permit to provide high-quality public service in the operation and maintenance of Government-owned recreation facilities located on the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument of the Angeles National Forest."

Yes. The Adventure Pass does not provide for parking here after 1 Jan.

Here it is. Starting Jan 1, $5 cold hard cash required to park at Inspiration Point.

Bummer. As a gesture of goodwill, they should open that gate to the dam that got put in on weekends also.

Hmph. I'm not seeing the new order.

I'm curious...what's the fixed point of reference?

Stable part of the North American plate, in this case.

Yes, it is! As it happens, I biked to the station at Keller Peak last weekend and saw the new sticker for the first time. You can see the URL here. The Earthscope project has ended and these stations (not all stations, but the ones we're talking about) are now known as Network of the Americas or NOT...

The science stuff is my job ?
Fun fact: the station at Mt. Gleason relays data from the sites at Mt. Waterman and Chilao out to civilization via a station near Encino.

Anyone have an interpretation what are the implications for the future of day use parking at Vincent Gap, Inspiration Point, Grassy Hollow, Jackson Lake, and a couple others?

Terribly late, but we bagged a lot more auto parts between Guffy and Lupine on 11 Oct 2020! Trim thing?

Great work.

Thanks for the recon. It is a relief to see the spring (and the rest). I do believe I recall the scorching on that tree, so I think it's old.

I wonder what the tape on Islip is for? Impromptu helispot?

Thank you for posting. During the fire, I was haunted by the mental image of the Spruce Grove sign (and everything else) on fire. I'll be interested to know which cabins were unfortunately lost. And what happened on the other side of the Zion loop. I looked for the beginning of the Burma road a few ...

Another quality ANF closure map. ?

Yuck. I was there yesterday too, during the day on bikes. Not interested in encountering that thing.

I was at Little Jimmy last week and had the good fortune to be snacking at the spring when this little guy came to bathe in the pool. He did a couple wash cycles, splooshing around in the water and then retreating to a tree to flap dry. ?
