San Gabriel river at night

Feet get wet on almost every hike for some reason...

easier to wear shorts and shoes that drain...

 This used to support the road that got washed out

in the flood that stranded the "Bridge to Nowhere" 5 miles

up the canyon.

Exploring the Big Horn Mine

The mine is now closed... but before it was...  We spent over 8 hours exploring the inside... it is HUGE...

Here is a history of the mine: http://www.wrightwoodcalif.com/WrightwoodHistorical/WrightwoodRoots/a06bighorn.pdf

 This is the view looking down what is the East Fork of the San Gabriel River.

Rainwater and snowmelt from here flows roughly 75 miles to Seal Beach at the end of the 605 freeway.

Tragedy at bridge...

I am rattled and saddened... I just got news that a fellow hiker died at the 'bridge to nowhere' over the weekend... http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_16181317


I have seen Mykel on the bridge every weekend I have hiked up there for many years... We have hiked out in the dark on quite a few sunday nights after the bungee... jumpers had finished and my gold prospecting adventures were done.
My heart goes out to his friends and family...
