There are some nice open space preserves of Hwy 35 / Skyline Blvd, south of San Francisco. Nice hiking, beautiful views.
On or near the coast, there's a little town called Pescadero, where you can buy picnic stuff. Nearby, there's a state park called Butano, where you can hike in the...
Hey folks,
I went to the MBOSC meeting. According to the ranger, there was more to it than the shuttles, although they didn't help.
State Parks had gotten complaints about bikes popping out onto the highway.
He mentioned that he likes to know what's going on, so he gets out in the...
Maybe I missed it, but I couldn't find anything on that website telling me who those people were. Somebody put some time into that website, but who? The makers of the dog food brands rated highest?
Some background on who they are and what their credentials are would give the site some...
Sounds like you got a real prize on on the phone. Did you call the sheriff or the Forest Service? If you saw a lion relatively near town or near the trailhead on a popular multi-use trail in broad daylight, that is kinda unusual. Sure it may be lion habitat, but the circumstances are unusual...
Yes. Soquel Demonstration Forest and Nisene Marks State Park are two separate pieces of property that touch on one edge, and are administered by two different state agencies.
There are no legal problems with riding your bike at SDF. You might be thinking about the battle over expanded bike access at Nisene Marks. State Parks got sued (and lost) over a proposal to consider more bike legal trails above the steel bridge on the main fire road. So the only legal...
Oh Man, that sucks! somebody posted on MTBR about a car break-in up there last week. I don't know if it was you or one of your friends talking about the same break in or yours is another?
Anyway, mention was made that there are some not so savory type folks camped in the bushes up there not...
Never heard of this, but it does sound STUNNINGLY STUPID! Even if the first flunky you talked with couldn't override it, certainly a supervisor should be able to. Never mind the minutes; $125 a month just doesn't sound like a lot for a business phone, and if there are no issues with late...
Take it for what it's worth from an old guy: Back in the day, I learned to drive stick in a Porsche 912 (4 banger). The rule was watch the tach and don't upshift below 3,000 rpm. With the turbo VWs and Subarus, I've heard it is more like 4 or 5K rpm.
Nice! That was quite decent of him. Shows a nice sense of perspective and application of force. Sort of like parking the car on the overpass and getting lots of folks to slow down, instead of stopping one car as thousands blow on by.
Can't help you with the Mexican, but there is this Italian restaurant with an attached wine shop that the wife and I had a fabulous dinner at. It was my brother in law's 50th b-day. Dinner took about 5 hours from appetizers to dessert, and we probably had 5 different wines. Good thing we had...

OK by me. I think flag burning is offensive, but doesn't need a constitutional amendment. What I'm wondering is if it would qualify as hate speech ???
MIkeD,
when you are whizzing along on BART looking at the folks parked on the freeway, Walnut Creek will seem OK. And there are some very nice restaurants there, and you can hop on BART to have dinner in SF whn you want.
The difference between rock climbing and ladder bridges or other stunts is the difference between natural existing conditions and man made ones. It doesn't matter that the risk you take on natural conditions is more likely to kill you. For private property owners that let people ride on their...
Kidwoo, I totally agree with you. I wasn't saying it is right, just telling you how I think it plays out from the perspective of the Forest Service. Their perspective isn't irrational; it's just not ours. They are frankly stuck in a thankless, unenviable position.
Everything you and the...
What I read was that the Baldy operators are for it, and the Forest Service is for it to. Unlike Big Bear, Baldy's terrain and location won't lend itself to out of bounds poaching, which had a lot to do with Snow summit giving up on DH.
They have to do the required legal studies for permits...
She was just giving you the Cliff notes version.
Even if the stuff is or was well built, if someone doesn't know what they are doing, it could be dangerous to them. ( I know, its a risky sport and there are lots of natural features you can kill yourself on. )
It's not easy to sue the...
If I were you, I wouldn't talk about it, and you might consider deleting your thread. At least your public profile doesn't say where you are.
You might consider that the bust for trail building is probably steeper than the one for just riding. And consequences will depend on whether you are...
Funny you should mention that. If it makes you feel better, the lions in that area are probably very well fed. I remember hearing there are some really big mule deer in that area around Tom's Place and Sherwin Summit.
