I would love to take my 3 year old on a short hike
I'm just afride he'll touch/eat the wrong plant!
I love the IPOD docking station thingy that way we can chill with the tunes
in my back pack!
I find I walk much longer and take less breaks when I'm hiking to Bob Marley etc:thumbsup:
This is my first time attempting to put a picture on here. I hope it worked, but in case it didn't here is a link to the picture: http://www.olsenart.com/images/YOSEM...ebclassic8.jpg
...This is where I hike... the valley is about a 20 minute drive from my house.
I love hiking and smoking. esp. when its next to a stream or creek.
That's one reason I moved to Alaska. Got tired of having to drive 1 hour to get to the woods.
I love to "trail blaze" I mentioned that to my older brother and he was like "huh?" I explained, he tried it, now he loves it! I usually walk the trail for a mile or so and then go off the trail.
Has anyone else hike to the source of a creek/stream? I love it! Or atleast in Colorado. Usually its a spring under a pile of rocks.

My wife and I had just come out of the store in Curry Village when we heard this rumble and people started running everywhere. We looked up towards glacier point and saw this big cloud of pulverized granite dust coming at us. It was total chaos and by the time we got to our car it had a thick layer of the dust all over it, not to mention all over us as well. Crazy shit.
damn you were there
i remember hearing about it.
i love to see stuff like that.
poor climber got smushed.
that must have been crazy.
im going to yosemite in 3 weeks.
badger pass here i come.
You going X-Country Skiing up at Badger ?
Should be nice. Have you ever done any longer backcountry trips in the winter?
i gonna take the kids to play in the snow.
winter down here is mild.
never really gets below 10-15degrees .f
longest ive done in winter was a 3 day 30 mile hike
no people out thats the best part.
and snow bong rips are good.
I'm thinking of finding a nice trail down San Diego way
Del Mar or La Jolla
I've heard there's some real sweet caves in the OC @ Corona Del Mar state beach. across from the Wedge.
Life's so nice with a different perspective
I look forward to the next day I can Trail Blaze with my pal The Nagual
dam that's awesome! missed a trip out that way a few years ago... that job thing. what tricks do you use to store and hang your food? from what i hear you got the industrial strength bearsQuote:

for the bears i use a cannister.i dont hang my food.
around san diego you might wanna check out cedar creek falls near julian.
or hike section A of the pct.
also check out warner springs near san diego
The poster who said they are going to Badger Pass in three weeks should be warned that the last day the downhill slopes are open is tommorow (April 2). However, cross-country skiing up there is still doable, it's not like there is a lack of snow. Enjoy your trip-
hey tim
how are the waterfalls looking.
are they going strong yet
Went on a fun hike today. Started the hike about 1 before sunset. Weather was great today, about 72 degrees with a light wind to the west at 4 mph. Once at the top at a rock called Excaliber (pic attached) smoked a nice bowl of the dankiest bud in my new pipe. Nice and stoned I walked back down to my car as the sun was setting. Total hike 3.0 miles. Total elevation change. 1200 ft.
I am in the picture to the left
hey geo check this out
native americans used to say this place was/is special
its in your backyard you might wanna check it out
It looks like an eagle
Where is it at?
highway 79 to warner springs.
follow signs to the eagle
Thought I would post some pictures of my hike this past weekend with my girls. Peace
Also, at this trail, you are about 1/2 mile SE of the geographic center of the City of L.A. It is crazy a rainforest off Mullholland in L.A.
Easy hike...1 mile each way..but a sight to behold for sure
image #5 is a map of where the trail is
Damn i not been hiking since i was a small child!
My dad used to always take us out on walks n stuff, end up in a tiny lil pub for lunch then head back! Living in North Yorkshire at the time was awesome for hiking!
Peace
Hey Friendowl, I will be hiking up to Mt San Jacinto on June 3rd, which is a Saturday with Dr H-a-z-z-Matt esq. and my cousin. I have an extra seat in my car. Do you wanna go? All you gotta do is make it out to Riverside. We will be taking the Palm springs tram and then of course Hiking from there. It is about 12 miles (20 kilometers) round trip. Toking all the way to the top. Late
How is it that I just found this thread?
I'll get some pictures up in a day or two once I get off my fat ass, probably from Stoney Point since it's about 5 minutes from me. Gotta love the irony in that name.
sounds good fellas
i just might have to meet on jacinto
that would be a trip
we shall see
Hey Just saw the news story on those two hikers that got lost for 2 or 3 days out there!
They said they wandered off from the rest of the tour (probably to toke!lol) and got disoriented and became lost.
After the second day they found the backpack of a missing hiker from more then a year ago! They found some food and matches and a log from the missing hiker that explained that he was lost and that he was probably going to die on this mountain! (how freaky!)
They used the matches to light a small fire and fed it with dry leaves to make it smoke and a rescue helicopter saw the smoke and pulled them to safety!
I find that whole story fascinating in that one simple fact that they use what they could from the dead guys backpack to save themselves
(Total Cosmic Karma!)
When we do this hike we'd use our GPS'rs and map all of the way points!
From off the tram and use the "breadcrumbs" feature on my GPS'r to track our path!
There no Chance of us getting lost (unless we're sooo stoned!)
Camel pak and a walking stick is recommend
I hope to see more "Trail Blazers" coming
Dr Hazz:thumbsup:
Yeah it is trippy. It said in the news that they found his backpack exactly 1 year to the day the other hiker went missing. Nice. Can you imagine how they felt when they found that backpack. They were probably thought in was a Mirage.Quote:

man do I love hiking!
I just recently bought a nice Trek mountain bike and have been enjoying this baby quite a bit. What I'll do is pick a mountain, ride every single trail on it, then hide my bike in a bush away from the trails, and climb up. I usually pick a side where there are lots of rocks so I can rock climb as well. Anyway here's what I've been doing for the past 5 days. (Got the bike 5 days ago).
The first 3 pictures are within the San Dieguito River State Park in SD of course. The last one is from Culp Valley, in Borrego.
Today I am planning on going to the Cuyamaca valley! Should be fun!
i had an extra 1/8th for you homie

They don't hassel hikers
most of the time it's BLM signs and they look very old and rusty
we where only a few miles from Hot Springs
what you have to watch for here in temecula is Tribal land or Indian reservations ! they will shoot you first and ask questions latter!
or scalp ya!
im part tokinblow indian
so i should be ok
id worry more about flat tires by the looks of your pics
Here are some more pics of stuff
one is a night hike in Corona (blurry)
one of Dr. Hazz's caches

The bridge to nowhere is 80 miles from my house. Can you go if your not going to jump. I dont have the cash to spend on it right now.

its just a fun walk .you cross the river like 14 times one way
and when the waters high it makes for an adventure
just getting there is the fun part
this time im not going to pay for a jump beforehand
when i get to the bridge maybe i can work something out
if i get my wild hair. the main reason for thsi trip is to scout
out a nice place to spend the night near the best swimming hole
in summer you can camp anywhere for no charge
last time i was there i found a spot at the base of rattlesnake peak
that had a huge tree for shade ,flat ground to sleep and a deep
swim hole about 20 yards long by 15 yards across and 8-10 feet deep
if you can make just look for my bald head.
