Trip Report:
Went 2/17/25 to Angeles National Forest for a quick jaunt. Had the trail to myself, there was fresh mountain lion scat alongside the fire road. I took the fire road route as I didn't want to bush whack through poodle dog bush as older reports indicated parts of the trail is overgrown.
I didn't make it fully down to the camp to assess the damage done by previous fires as the doggo was getting a bit tired. I'll probably make another trip in the coming week or two to check out this area as it's been a cool while since the fires came through. I stopped just before the junction where you can descend to the valley floor.
Total mileage: 4.37 round trip
Politicians gain their power from The People. It is alarming as an American that nearly half the country actually wants this to happen because "the other side is getting hurt" without recognizing that they too will suffer alongside the people they are told to dislike.
What was that infamous quote from POTUS LBJ again? "Convince the poorest white that he's better than the richest black so you can pick his pockets clean [paraphrasing]"
