atomicoyote, Ah ok! I had never heard of the wasp term before, only hawk, so I was curious to know if they were actually different critters. Yeah they are pretty noticeable when you see one close to you with those big orange wings. I heard their sting is not poisonous but it apparently hurts like a ...

atomicoyote, you are right about that, I have actually seen a tarantula hawk dragging a tarantula into a hole in the ground on two occasions now in San Diego. I thought it was so cool, I excitedly showed it to a couple walking by and the girl freaked out and ran away screaming. It was quite a sight....

I was just about to post about it. Damnit! Not again

Hey Jim, how many miles approximately do you think would be cut out of the 65 if one was to take the purple alternate route, starting from Devil's Punchbowl? Looks like it could be quite a bit. Maybe 10? Taco, that does sound like a lot of work, haha. Maybe not this time. I am down for what you ment...

Hey amigos, I figured I would hear something from you both! HJ, you never fail to disappoint with your mapping creativity. I personally prefer the start from Devil's Punchbowl and then following the rest of your Trans SG trail. Although 65 miles? I was thinking of a single push kind of adventure. Th...

What's up guys! Anyone interested in tackling this Death March, or anything just as daunting, sometime in the Fall? Let's plan something!

Hey Richard, good to hear, maybe we said hi to each other! It was a nice day out there too. Well the trail from Timber to Telegraph got weird a few times; it would kind of disappear between small ravines created by that storm. I actually kind of gave up on it at some point and just decided to follow...

I had an awesome day yesterday in the San Gabriel mountains. I got out of my car around 6 am and hiked up the icehouse canyon trail to the saddle. I then headed to thunder mountain. I looked at my watch there and it was a few minutes short of 9 am. I ran/hiked my way back, adding the peaks of telegr...

what's up guys. great TR David, I enjoyed reading that as it brought back memories.

Here are some pics of when I did it:

Haha, I also saw those dogs running around Manker Flats on Sunday. It was really cool to see them since I had read this thread just the day before ;) They did not follow us up the hill though! https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh5.googleusercontent.com/--s47wtNCY4s/UPSQabvvSPI/AAAAAAAAJR8/1vs8j...

For a little bit of Off-Topicness...got a new camera, went to the beach yesterday (torrey pines in san diego) and had some fun.

Ooooooh, yeah.. I read something like this before. Hah! Interesting..

Thanks guys for the info. I could have googled it.. what a lazy bastard!


Also, nice pic Ellen, that is pretty funny right there! The guy, behind Ellen, I met him on Villager! He looked exactly the same...

lol, sounds fun!

...and he should definitely be on a different planet.

I think the hardest sport routes in SoCal (and possibly all of California) are on Clark, near the border with Nevada. Jumbo Love and all that.

Yeah Sharma made an amazing line on there somewhere... I think it could actually be one of the hardest lines in the world.

Yeah! It needs more fire!

Very cool simonov! This is really helpful and I for one will surely use it.

You could keep going with other big nearby peaks, and so on, then eventually make it into a small book/ebook!

Did anybody go to this? If so, how was it?

What/Who are Atherians??

It'd be cool if REI put up a "Convert dividend and donate to Red Cross" button on the website. That'd make it easy to avoid additional temptation, but as of now I've just spotted a pair of Merrell Trail Gloves...hmm... Hehehe, that would be a great idea indeed. I would even donate my rema...

Awesome!

Thank you HJ

About that 20% off/free shipping coupon... Can you use your dividend with it?

HJ

Yeah... There's some pretty good online shops around the Internet though as I'm sure you know. Hehe

Hey HJ, well by local I mean stores near the mountains.
Adventure Nomads in JTree, Mammoth Lakes Mountaineering Shop, etc. Adventure16 is a good one!

Oops, didn't mean to post this in this forum... feel free to move, my bad

For all of you who have spent some money at REI last year, now is the time to profit from their yearly dividend! Log in to their website and find out how much you are getting back :) I'm a little ashamed to say I currently have $95 to spend there.... I spent way too much money at that damn store las...

Hey Norma,

Thank you for the suggestion. It is kind of hard for me to do that though since I live in San Diego and currently do not own a vehicle. I will stop by next time I am there however

Yes it does.. considering how expensive it is! Take care

Hey there people, I don't know why I didn't think of doing this before, but here god nothing. On the day Taco and a few others were giving their clinic (Jan 8th), I planted my Black Diamond (dark gray, 70mm) ice axe in a snow bank Right next to the road by the entrance to the ski hut trail, close to...
