We miss this! Cooler weather has us dreaming of those frigid nights spiking out of Lightning Point. Always catches LA peeps off-guard. When you leave your house and it’s 70 degrees out... next thing you know, it’s 20 degrees and windy as all heck. Amazing how warm friends and homemade chili can keep you... Also hiding in a giant van with some warm sake makes waking up for trail work that much easier!

We organize these multi-day, all volunteer, free, and open to the public trail work campouts with plenty of food and drinks to go ‘round. Getting back to this someday will be great for all of our mental health! Until then...

The real loser in the wake of the #BobcatFire is t

This past week we became 1 step closer to resuming

This past week we became 1 step closer to resuming our volunteering in the Angeles National Forest. Our normal activities have been suspended in accordance with the US Forest Services phasing back into work protocols. This spring we had plans to camp up at Lightning Point (pictured here) and resume our work on upper Condor Peak Trail. We can’t wait to get back to our plans and start announcing some of our new ones.

In addition to covid related impacts, we should expect long closures in areas of the forest impacted by the #bobcatfire. Especially since the fire is not 100% contained. We also need to be good stewards and always looking to recruit new volunteers because rebuilding everything that was damaged is going to be massive. Trees charred from the 2009 Station Fire continue to fall across the trail in large amounts each year after a good rain or windy day. Now with the combined damage of the Bobcat Fire, it’s going to be time to start fundraising because we’re gonna need lots more help and tools; especially chainsaws!

#bobcatfire continues to burn putting many things

#bobcatfire continues to burn putting many things including friends on the fire line lives at risk to protect valued #losangeles treasures like the @mtwilsonobservatory. I have somewhat relentlessly been following and posting some tidbits in the stories at @lowelifesrcc in a failed attempt to reduce my anxiety. Many folks have asked me how they can help or specific information related to fire. I don’t know anything about fire other than the obvious and some lessons learned from @struffus and @gregorystenmo as a volunteer chainsaw operator. Geographically, I know a lot about the San Gabriels and have had a fairly intimate relationship in it’s endless canyons and ridges obsessing over its flora and fauna. A federal fire fighter just like our friend @jerrymgarcia has drafted a letter to US Senators and Representatives asking for reform that is well stated and much deserved... Especially when families, lives, and mental health are at stake. This is how you can help. Sign the petition in our bio and help provide equity among firefighters. Especially the toughest out there like Crew 63 and @jerrymgarcia protecting your house Los Angeles!

AQI sitting around 400 today in #LosAngeles and the inside of our home full of smoke from the #bobcatfire has me dreaming of clear skies and beach hangs on Catalina Island.

What’s your favorite beach bike packing destination? I wanna know so I can make plans!

In case you haven’t heard, we have a new fire in

In case you haven’t heard, we have a new fire in the Angeles National Forest. The Bobcat Fire began near Cogswell dam on Sunday and is burning north into the San Gabriel Wilderness toward Twin Peaks and Mt. Waterman and south toward Monrovia.
The Forest is closed until at least Monday 9/14, there are multiple road closures, and we discourage everyone from heading into the ANF for any reason.
For the latest info on the Bobcat Fire, see our link in bio to Inciweb or follow Angeles_NF on Twitter.
Thanks to all the wildland firefighters!
