I already posted my rant about my outing to Islip. Here's the accompanying pics.

Much appreciated HikeUp, very helpful. Didn't realize my orientation was that directly west.

Very nice pictures Mr. Rico. Makes me wonder why I'm at my desk instead of on the PCT 'tween Islip and Baden Powell.

Here, here.

Nice peak analysis, HikeUp, however you are now hereby forever excommunicated from the NHPS. :wink:

Heh. I've always been open about my shameless peakbagger tendencies. :D

Great pics, that is such a fun area of the forest. Was planning on taking some friends that way overnight, did you happen to notice if Little Jimmy Spring is still flowing? Im not sure if it dries up in this heat each year?

Thanks.

Little Jimmy is pretty solid. Shouldn't be a problem even in late September (the driest of the dry).

Here's a similar photo I took recently. A lot of the same peaks, but a couple of additions like Akawie (HPS name).
