The fish I've seen there are quite small. I'm not sure why it got the name "Fish Fork", to be honest with you.

So has anyone found a pot of gold up there yet!?





The amazing rainbow last night (followed shortly by an impressive lightning storm).

Plenty of pot and gold up there, but not enough short Irish guys for the two to combine. 8)

Obie, thanks for the visual of the history, the adventures and the great human accomplishments on those mountains! The Rainier climb without a rope and having to hold on on a moving holds is something else!
Way too many magic places and so little time to see some of them....... thanks again 666

Cool looking at those big baggy cargo pants, thick wool socks and rope that looks like it came off a tugboat.

Good idea Mr. Bacon.

Great bird pics. Is that a red tail hawk eating lunch in your flickr collection? Looks too big to be a coopers or sharp shinned.

That Osprey lives in Fullerton at a stocked pond, there are also a few along the coast and a pair has had a nest at SJWR in Irvine a lot.

Kimchi Ridge eh? Fitting name. :lol:

Osprey are also frequently observed at the 605/210 interchange near Santa Fe Lake and Dam.

Take a jump back to the past, to a time when JTNP was still "The Monument". Was a good time. Bought my first house in JT back in '97. Place keeps calling me back. Feeling nostalgic tonight.

Took this panorama from the ridge below West Telegraph. I think it is one of the best views in the Baldy area. You can see Timber, Etiwanda, Cucamonga, Bighorn, Ontario, Sugarloaf, Colver, Sunset, Lookout, West Baldy, Old Baldy, Harwood, Dawson, and Thunder.

Dry but moderate temperatures today. Looking forward to some real weather in the near future.
