I can't help but disagree with the reason why most people "hike" I know my post will probably never make it to the message board because of the censorship that this board is under. Anybody who disagrees with the majority is cencored. Most people hike because they were never sucessful as at...

I sat in on an interesting meeting Friday with some low level Cal Trans brass. I asked about the status of the ACH. It is interesting to find out that the collapsed portion was originally maintained for a couple reasons. Number 1 reason was during the Cold War with the USSR, areas needed evacuation ...

Travis, I have heard some talk about the problems with re-opening the collapsed portions of Angeles Crest Hwy. It's not from absolutely official sources, but close enough that I think they were worth sharing. The problem is not the cost of repairing the collapsed portions and repaving them, while th...

Wow, just got home from work. Checked this site. There were some very busy lil beavers on the site almost all day long. I'm envious. My job doesn't allow internet browsing during work. I work for CalTrans, was sick/hurt Monday and Tuesday, didn't have any idea that so many people can get online ever...

sorry admin.. thought it was an innocent question. didn't mean to offend anyone.. it was just a hunch.. bet i'm right. My Pop was from Texas, we moved to Cali when I was 3. I've heard him countless times ask someone - "Hey, you Jewish?" The person would either laugh and say yep you're righ...

Alan K - Trust me I've been up Whitney more times than you have. I've had the pleasure if talking to Doug more times than you have. He is a great guy. But his "customer service responsibilities" of maintaining his board are transparant to most people. Great guy - with a tough job to do, es...

I got a real chuckle out of watching a bunch of "Clucking Hens" on another site clucking to each other about my saying I'd like to see some of you guys getting "physical" in the 4WD while my guy buds negotiate some of their moves. By "physical" I meant watching somebody...

No problem guys, I think I misunderstood the title of this forum. I noticed fauna and flora, trail biking, and just thought another very popular activity was appropriate. My bad. I tried to cut and paste the header for this board, but I guess it got a little messed up. "San Gabriel Mountains Op...

No doubt about it. The San Gabriels are one of the closest areas that cost nothing or next to nothing to visit for the day for many of the Big City ganster/trouble makers. Graffiti is everywhere. There was a time when local parks were safe in the city. Not anymore. Local parks are free, or next to f...

There are a lot of off-road trails in the San Gabriels, jeep trails for 4WD vehicles. "Backcountry Adventures" THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE BACKCOUNTRY FOR ANYONE WITH A SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE - by Peter Massey and Jeanne Wilson (I own a copy of the book, love it, but am not offering this as a...

Hi Travis. Really glad to see your site open up. I actually was really happy to see the Google ads on your site because I was impressed that somebody could actually go out and recruit sponsors. (Didn't realize that the ads were part of the site software) The ads don't bother me, I think they are a g...

I agree Cy. There are a couple of other message boards that i've viewed from time to time, but never posted on. In my opinion they are being dominated by a select few who seem to think everybody is interested in their never ending debates. Unfortunately I've noticed that one of the worst offenders h...
