Alder Creek Trail? Maybe Matt knows current status (see my 2009 TR link above).

Where is 2N17? I can't find it. 3N17? TIA. OK, for what it is worth, here are a couple of pictures I have of what I think is your crag of interest. I took these on a hike up to Round Top I took from Upper Big Tujunga Canyon Road back in 2009. Two pics and my route. Also a link to my initial TR (with...

Nice.

I think I have some pictures of that crag from my trip up to Round Top...will post later.

Honestly, this is cut-n-pasted from an anonymous Facebook post...

I hiked down the Kenyon Devore back in 2007 and a month later I hiked up the Kenyon Devore. Granted this was 17 years ago but it is one of the most enjoyable trails in the Mt. Wilson area. Unfortunately this was before I owned a camera...wtf? It was also before all of the fires that have since affec...

Woohoooooooooooo! My favorite - a jfr TR!!! Man, it's been a while. I read the whole thing and enjoyed seeing places I haven't seen in years. AW and other NHPS'rs (Near Hundred Peaks Section) will appreciate the fact you avoided summiting so many peaks. As always, thanks for the TR. I really enjoyed...

Used to be just hikers sleepng at/near the trailhead for an early start.

I know one of the investors who are selling. They've been hoping for many years that the 2 would be more consistently open.

Well done fellows.

nice

Go go gadget!

lol

FWIW, I genuinely wanted to acknowledge Dima's accomplishment - wow! In general, the "Like" button lets the poster know that I read it and had positive thoughts about it, yet didn't have any specific comment to make. I think it's a worthwhile addition. Maybe call it a "Yeah that's coo...

Where's the god damn Like button

I sold my dog...

I have a KMZ file of my route from 15 years ago. I went up the trail to bear flat and then followed a trail from there towards Lookout. I came down a different route, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone :) I can load the file into caltopo or google earth but can't save a fucking image file of what I se...

I hear @sean has an un-credited appearance!

Nice TR.

Oddly, the one time I went up Sunset in 2008 the ridge route was clear of snow (except near the peak) but the peak and the road back down were covered in snow and ice. Ridge route up is fun. Here's a shot of Baldy from Sunset 2008-02-16...

My dog Gordon says hi...

Nice!

All good. I checked with Hopper Mountain NWRC. They said no problem.

@Uncle Rico ... check your PM's.

You can poke around the tax assessor's site...

LA County: https://maps.assessor.lacounty.gov/m/

double clicking on properties will bring up some info...used to include owner's name but they may have started omitting that info.

Is this the Forest Service's new motto?

TR's are good. Good TR's are better. No TR's suck.

Yours look interesting! Thanks for posting the teasers and have fun around here.

To be clear, I wasn't calling this young lady "stupid". I used the example of a young person in tennis shoes traveling in 2 feet of snow to point out that there are people ( and their parents) who do stupid things and DON'T learn.

I'm sure I'm still not expressing my ideas clearly. Sorry.

Is it possible to fix that kind of stupid? Is it worth trying?
