Film on the Open Trail ...... To Nowhere!

This weekend, I'm going to be returning to the San Gabriel mountains to hike my favorite trail, The Bridge to Nowhere. In anticipation, I would like to share some film pictures I took on my hike in March. One of the main reasons I keep coming back to this spot is the unpredictability that you don't normally get, say at some of the other trails like over at Griffith park for an example or the Gaviotta Wind Tunnels.

This trip feels like It might be one of the more difficult times I will have up there since this is the middle of July. I have a few ways that i'll beat the heat. First off, I will be taking two 1 liter bottles of water, my trusty Noble Ale Works trucker hat, SPF 50 sunscreen, a killer slipknot handkerchief that I will be wetting and then tying around my neck to block the sun and keep me cool, and a nice sack lunch to enjoy on the bridge at 8:00-8:30 AM, if not earlier, while watching the bungee jumpers.

I'll be taking my trusty $20 Rebel Ti film camera with me again to catch as much interesting and odd as I can. But until then, I'll leave you with these pictures.

Spot number 8 looks promising to take a break out of the summer heat. I really like the last photo.
What time are you starting your hike?

Indeed it does! Unfortunately that spot is closer to the beginning and there isn't anything that nice until I get to the bridge. I'm hoping to hit the trailhead by 6 but 6:30 has to be the latest. I think the sun will be out in force by 7:30 so I want to get as far as I can by then. I'll be mostly in the shade on my trip to, its the return trip that will be harder. It's gonna be fun!
Looks like some Blair-Witch shit might happen at any time.

Good luck on the hike!

No doubt dude. And there were prospectors out there that remind me of the local folks from the area blair witch was supposedly located.

Thanks for the luck. It went well. Strained a ligament though and now its not fun to walk.
