[pct-l] hike is over, but not the trip

[msaenz at mve-architects.com (Mike Saenz)]

REI, Santa Ana, is having a snow camping seminar tonight at 7pm.
I might drop in, if I'm not still trapped at my desk tonight...

I think the new REI in Huntington Beach is doing the same seminar
tonight too.

The A16 Costa Mesa is about 10 minutes (depending on the traffic along
the 55) from REI, Santa Ana. Kill two visits in one!

I like the idea of a SoCal Backpacking museum! But, then again, you can
always take a peek inside Ground Pounder's pack to see how to do it "Old
School"!

(just a joke, Bill...)

This depends on where you're from, what attractions / stores there are,
etc.  
I would recommend finding an Adventure 16 store if you haven't ever been
to one and even an REI if you come from part of the country that doesn't
have them.  Both are equipped and focused upon the hiker and even
ultra-light thru-hiker types like us.  Other than that I cannot think of
any gear manufacturer tours, thru-hiking shrines (other than the almost
forgotten and essentially hidden golden spike ceremony spot and, of
course Hiker Heaven at the Saufleys) or mountaineering museums.  Maybe
we should start one!  "Mountaineering Museum of the San Gabriel, San
Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains"  

Send in your old pictures, packs, crampons, pitons, ropes, ice axes,
ultra-light underwear, old socks, etc.

Send them to;

I'm farting around LA now.  Is there any must see attractions I got to
see while here?  I'm at the Aquarium of the Pacific now.  Is there any
mountaineering\skiing  museums, gear manufacturing tours, or thur-hiking
shrines?
