Big Horn Mine Hike-Wrightwood, CA

[bearthedog]

This is a photo collection of what not to do, especially if you are alone.

Wherever there is beauty in the world there is also danger near by.

The trail goes through some very nasty landslide areas

The sky is falling!

As stated above, the sky is falling and the trail is almost completely covered with fallen rock.

Honey stick for the hike.

The Mines

A little bit of honey before doing some stupid things.

Cave in means time to turn back!

The trail out!

Haha! I Hope she took the abuse alright and there was still crap left when you were done!
Would that be the Randall Training class in So. Cal.?

Yes on the class, come on down!

Gotta love an ugly knife! I wish I could go, I will join one in 2012 I just got back from Moab UT, and headed to Boise knife show this weekend. Too much going on.

Great photos BTW I really like the Chain photo, and you need a bigger Carabiner!

Actually, it was just a P&S so there wasn't a tilt shift lens. I used the miniature effect is has built in-#9 too.
