Only in So.CA.
We had a great hike Saturday the 19th from Red Box to Valley Forge
Campground 6 MI RT. We had a pleasant surprise. We were joined by a couple who came in
a chauffeur driven limousine . They had tailor made Alpine hiking clothes
Their dog a reddish Lab called Rooster played with my dog Heidi all the way up
and down the trail covered with maple and oak leaves. Zap my other dog was a
little jealous. The streams were running all the way, weather was great. The
chauffeur waited at the trail head for four hours.
Only in So. Ca. can this happen
On Thanksgivings Day I wanted to check out the inky dinky road leading to
Santiago Peak via Holy Jim Trail If your ever constipated go on this road it
better then taking an exlax. The road received heavy rains on Sunday the
20th and I was afraid it was not passable. I wanted to see the snow which fell
that Sunday on top of Mt. Santiago a fifteen mile hike on Friday the day after
Thanksgivings. Snow is a rare occasion in this area.
While driving up Thanksgivings Day I notice that a four wheeler did not make
a turn and was hanging over an embankment. I figured the owner was going to
get a tow truck.
On my way up again Friday morning to Holy Jim trail head I went passed the
four wheeler again all the windows were smashed out. I figured that par here
in S. CA. On my returning that night after peaking Santiago the four wheeler
was rolled over the embankment totaling the vehicle. I estimate the vehicle
to be worth at lease 25,000 dollars. Only in So. CA
