Between Jupiter and Juno, nothing on the sign. Entire firebreak has been dozed recently.

Neato. Which way did you come? Trail conditions?

We came from the south at Cow Canyon Saddle. The trail was in decent condition and my dad and I were able to follow it pretty much the entire way, although it is starting to get a bit overgrown. There were a few small patches of snow near the top too. I couldn't see anything from the top though, the fog was really bad.

On Miller Ranch Road, just east of where it intersects Miller Lateral Road. We walked through Webb Canyon up to Marshall Canyon this morning. Six miles of shady Live Oak trees and three miles of sunny Baseline Road.

This is an amusing thread. I still can't believe coming up that marker at 6388' on Big Horn ridge.

Another along Miller Ranch Road, a little way past the gate. This one looks well shot up.

Here are two triangular signs that you aren't going to see anywhere. I went hiking above the Leona Valley from San Francisquito Road high point. The two were interestingly 1/8 of a mile apart from each other. The first was about 20 yards off the trail in the brush. There is a fire break/motorcycle track that follows the ridge which has Burn and Granite BM on them. A subsidiary ridge heads out towards Leona Valley to Peak 4,470 and that was where these signs were.

I've been spending a lot of time in this area, mostly hiking the PCT. Beautiful area with low traffic! I was on the PCT near Burn yesterday.

Burn might be in this pic somewhere. It's facing N from the PCT so Burn might be on the left side.

Burn is right in the center and you are close to the ridge I took to those signs. In the distance, on the left is Grass.

Not in the San Gabriels, but close enough (Sierra Pelonas)

Just east of Juno Peak on the fire break

I've never been on that trail. Looks nice. LPNF is always a nice escape from busy ANF.

These were found on Peak 6,178 just east of Pacifico Mountain. One was a victim of a recent fire break.
