There has been change..to the worse. But it hasnt been too bad because access is SAR.
I dont include Angeles/park and go in the forest service because its unique...esp SAR. The are some top notch NPS teams..so there you can get deeper access.

The forest service should be better, because the mission ...

Yeah..after the large earthquake. Or is that not happening now?
Well see if the lizard people and Daddy Longlegs shows up in the chaos...because authorities will be enforcing the zone against residents/victims.

well have the 'Sucks to be you' exhibit complete with ALOT of Doritos and the palettes ...

Yeah, its Judy Chu crazy.

She has no problem with closing a NP for everyone for her feelings...sarcasm.
Altadena residents know the answer is not to close but are going to adapt.

But yeah, the govt signalling that any rain/snow/wind they cant handle is going to set the mood.
Wait till insurers ...

The feds wildfire have a dispatching software system...most agencies do too.

They have a manual for it so the capabilities are known.

And like it says, its likely working with other systems...probably overkill.

I dont know when ...

Nope...my mobility is better...so I can eventually get uphill, but its like NHPS on steroids.
The burnt part is obvious sight. I went elsewhere. Was it closed? Idk...Im crazy remember.

Hmm...the thing is that place has a nice view of Strawberry. I went there say in 2006...way before the mgmt was given to Socal Edison.
Btw, where do you park for this Alder Creek trail, cause its a lot of no stopping signs. Because....well, of that situation..ahem.

I just meandered around brush ...

Nifty...the almost 360 view is a good intro to the wilderness...which again, people dont recognize and leave trash.
I had said that it gave a view of the falls..that is not true..I was mistaken on that.

The deer ..yeah...I would say its not about water ...

From Shoemaker road(open):
east fork road open til Camp Williams store....with stop signs and not the closure sign.
eastern Rattlesnake peak is burnt (again), no signs at Shoemaker, so open.

In picture top of Iron Mountain good...and Heaton Flat campground..and restroom at parking lot ...

Well, this popped up....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9s-S-aGGsA
The story starts at 7:10-8:11.

I believed it....its an international destination.
Which Im not sure who was first...LA Times and Jack Dolan the mountaineer is a safe guess..but all legacy media circus is in on this.

Its like once ...

I started up south of C. There was a communications platform near the bottom....along with the fixed ropes. But the hunters used a different path like A.
The ridge was not brushy in 2014...except for one part, and that part is basically guaranteed to brushy today.
Simply because people just deal ...

Since we could be talking MtWilson(and beyond)..anyone know the status of the closed trails? MtZion, and upper BSA?

I thought they said the place was contaminated by the corona virus.
That doesnt mention their masks...or double masks.

Modern names , especially dramatic ones.

In canyons, GOD ...I dont think it can possibly be more drama.
"Im going to GOD next Sunday"..is wow. Its an acronym...not that the spelled out name is any less dramatic.

"Lame" is awesome. Someone named it that...to hide it? Where you going?..."Lame ...

Thats how I feel about that area....pictures dont do it justice, but the moving around is the key.

How was the forest coverage?

51,167 acres this morning. The fire grew to the north towards Pinion Hills. It held in the Mt Baldy Village area with lots of resources prepared to ensure the fire does not cross the canyon to the east, which would allow for ...

firemap is cool...especially with a touchscreen.

@Laurel Gulch, but has spotted at Stanly-Miller.

We should expect no firefighting in wilderness areas, so its about to be free to burn soon.

Fire is burning to the north and east, Sheep Mtn wilderness. South is done.

The Superscooters are here and got put on the #ApolloFire(Lancaster, currently 500 acres). Not the best intro as there was a photo-op first.

Yeah, its about time for the forest supervisor to show up. Who? Yeah, Roman Torres...temporary forest sup.

Should say that this trail is savage. On both ends.
At Islip Saddle its is overgrown near the parking lot already.
And at South Fork...it basically does not exist.

He'll walk away eventually.

Group dynamics can go both ways - helping to get over some fears, also peer pressure getting people into uncomfortable situations.


Malia, a canyoneer, would say that group dynamics by default - humans are the most dangerous.
I definitely concur...We just had that Tish woman last year was ...

Not Chilao. None of them.
Id guess SoCal hehehe.
