Campout #5 in the Bobcat burn working Gabrielino i Campout #5 in the Bobcat burn working Gabrielino is in the books! We powered through the 100 degree heat properly fueled from Lowelifes signature queso tacos, blueberry pie, and peach ice cream! That’s right… I said it. Ice cream!! Thanks @illustrateded you da best!! We have some amazing volunteers that understand the importance of doing it right out here. Big thanks to new volunteers Kristin, Harvey, and Brandon! The trail is looking great from Valley Forge to West Fork Trail Camps. Next month we will begin to focus our work on Silver Moccasin - West Fork to Shortcut… looking forward to it!
A throwback photo because why not? Photo taken by A throwback photo because why not? Photo taken by @silviarazgova commissioned by the @latimes after a long day working the Gabrielino from Station Fire damage. This weekend will, yet again, be dedicated to stewardship on the Gabrielino to continue our work restoring the area after the Bobcat Fire. The Bobcat Fire is the second largest fire on record in the Angeles only behind the 2009 Station Fire.
Recently we celebrated finishing up our Condor pro Recently we celebrated finishing up our Condor project and @hannah_g1rl made us a video from over 2 years of footage. What a memorable adventure restoring the Condor Peak Trail! The full video is up on our YouTube channel for easy viewing. Check it out at the link in our profile bio.
Spent the day working with our #1 @estephers9 from Spent the day working with our #1 @estephers9 from the @u.s.forestservice with special help from Lorence at the Haramoknga American Indian Cultural Center. Red Box is getting all new benches and today was the hard work… demolishing and hauling off the existing tables. @lowelifesrcc came to support the day with tools and volunteers @stepho_ @ericjmelanson and @gotukus. Esteph had her interns Yadira and Tedric along with coworker Kevin to assist in the project. We made quick work of it and got right on to the important part… tailgate tacos! No benches at Red Box for now but the new ones will be up there soon, right Esteph!?
*READ THIS* This Saturday the 23rd is our Condor P *READ THIS* This Saturday the 23rd is our Condor Peak Trail completion and volunteer appreciation party! 2pm @itsnotabikeshop who is so kind to host us! @pattybaby88 will be slingin’ burgers on the grill. We have a free meal for anyone who volunteered on the project and burgers for sale for anyone else. There will also be some prizes for our top volunteers which is really what this event is all about. Celebrating the amazing people that make the trails in the mountains above Los Angeles even a thing to do! So, without further adieu, meet Travis. @name_and_number was our top volunteer with the most hours on the Condor Peak Trail project. Travis outworks everyone, helps with a lot of the hard work that goes into hosting these stewardship events, cooks dinner for volunteers, then goes for a night ride, and then wakes up and is the first person to hit the trail and get to work! Thanks for taking the crew to the next level, Travatar! Next up is our top female volunteer on the project and my favorite @stepho. She has been here since the very beginning throwing down and shattering egos of so-called tough guys. Steph is also an amazing artist and made our first Condor graphic for our first flyer of our first stewardship campout. She also made some cool stuff to kick off our new bike ride community, @loweridersbffs.  I cannot wait to get her chainsaw certified! I had to toss in one of my most favorite photos of all time…The last slide of her and her man hunk @ericjmelanson on Condor Ridge camped out high and deep in the Angeles in December! The best. Love @gotukus 💚

We will be returning to the Bobcat Closure for ano We will be returning to the Bobcat Closure for another campout the weekend of July 9-10 to continue our work on Gabrielino - Valley Forge to Kenyon Devore. Here’s some pics taken by our friend @vernor when we first started logging out trails within the Bobcat. This was New Years Eve. The day after the giant storm. We started the day by surfing down a snowy 2N24 on our bikes to daisy chaining volunteers one at a time over high flow on the West Fork San Gabriel. We cut trees and removed poodle dog bush for 8 hours and Brian got a bunch of amazing photos. Here’s a few and please consider donating while Lowelifes continues to take on more trail miles. After we finish our work on Gabrielino, we will be focusing heavy on Silver Moccasin.

*ALSO*
Don’t forget to recreate responsibly this 4th of July weekend. No fires means no smokey air and terrible AQI levels, and that means more days we can all spend outdoors! No fireworks in the Angeles National Forest!!
