hiked the big santa anita loop, which was kind of like biting off more than i could chew since it's about a 9.5 mile trek and i've not done anything like this in years. here are some of my point and shoot photos...
a very cool looking tree stump -- very shroomy too.
after about five miles, thinking what the fuck did i get myself into... still had a great time.
probably the coolest looking manmade dam there and there were many.
this is sturtevant falls which was seriously flowing after all the heavy rains.
a side close-up of sturtevant falls. it's about a 50 footer.
all in all, a great day, but boy am i glad to be freshly showered and home.
