Any mountain pics are good mountain pics.
Cool shots guys.

Drove up R39 to East Fork to GMR to GRR up to San Antonio Falls Road, figuring I might go for a climb up in Icehouse as well, though it didn't happen.
GRR
Sugarloaf
Two of the tight turns between SA Falls Road and Icehouse Canyon
Looking into Icehouse, with Magical Kimchi buttress in view
Ah, so that's why I have understeer...
Got this sticker in a recent order from Backcountry. GOtta take some cool pics with it sometime.
I <3 GRR

Not quite, the picture was taken at the edge of the cliff, a bit West of Wright Mtn.

Not hiking related but SG related! Today folks in San Gabriel valley got a very special surprise visitor in the air. A B-2 bomber danced around the sky for about 45 minutes. Nice piece of craft.

Maybe we can start handing them out to Wall Street executives in lieu of bailout bonuses.
