Todays hike, San Gabriel Mountains

[tknife]

I was really craving a hike near water, and I hadn't been to this area in a long time.




Found a very well camouflaged shelter that someone made


Lots of shade, which was awesome!




Several stream crossings were great for cooling off

There used to be cabins back here that date back to the 20's. Fires eventually wiped them out but there are a lot of cool looking foundations left.








Brought along my most recent score, my grail of grails. Yep I'm using it!

Awesome knife! Love ray mears. Maybe one day I'll get a clone of the woodlore. What trail is that?

I have wanted a "real life" Mears Woodlore for about 20 years now, ever since reading his Outdoor Survival Handbook where he showed a drawing of it.

This is along the San Gabrielino trail which starts out right behind the NASA/JPL facility in pasadena
