The trail was a bit washed out no vehicle would have made it. From the road growth the trail hasnt been used for decades..it was a good day!

Wow! Great photos. The views are beautiful and the flower shots are excellent. Where is this near?

What was up with the downed plane? Crash Landing I assume?

That's really cool. I love being able to find sat images and go explore them. I think I do that everytime I go to Calico.

I've been looking at an image of an old concrete bridge nearby. This thing is HUGE!!! It's one hell of a hike to get to it though. Apparently it was constructed and the entire project was scrapped. In front of it is dirt road and behind it is a cliff face.

That's great! I'm sorry the bridge claimed your sole. I'd love to find old relics like that I can drive to. I know that's not one of them.

Edit: I guess it didn't claim your sole. I thought that was your blog. Oops

[NAILER341]

no.. not my blog
it is worth the hike to see it.
you might cross a bear, or even a couple of mountain sheep.
in my many times out there in the past i have seen both.
for being in the angeles crest area, there is actually still some wildlife out there.

Western side of Borrego, Rodriguez Canyon. Theres a loop which will swing on around and down Oriflamme creek.

Plane..I scanned the runway didnt see any skids but didnt look very hard. Its a shame was a very nice low wing plane. Sure beats flying a Cessna...There also a V tail Bonanza parked on same strip.

Oh hiked to that bridge in early 70's same saying dont leave nothing valuable in your car..somethings never change...

I just couldnt figure out why someone would put out the expence to put that trail road in. Its cut through some tough stuff. Those quartz vain mines just didnt figure. Thats lots of road for those little mines...untill I reviewed all of the pictures in detail..and this came out, Those are the real mines!

Gonna have to go back in ....

I'm glad you checked that out Vern!
Was curious as to what was up there.

What do you think they were mining?
