Accidentally ran across this article about the "most dangerous national forest in America".
Interesting quote (read article for more context)...
As many as 30,000 people a day visit San Gabriel Canyon on weekends, and all of them, of course, come in automobiles.
...
The only way to keep an area beautiful, she now believes, is not to build roads there: "People who really love the land and nature are the same ones who don't mind hiking there."
LOL @ this...
It's another 30 minutes before I can comprehend that I'm still in Los Angeles County. This realization comes suddenly, though, when a yahoo in a Japanese sports car comes at me off a curve just below Red Box in a two-wheel drift, passing so close I can see the combination of belligerence and panic in his eyes.

Caffeine... GU... reminds me of someone I wouldn't give a ride to.
Gotta take pride in one's ability to get so many people riled up over nothing.
