Here's some pictures of a hike i did with my neighbor Nick, his friend Peter and one of the rangers, Michael. Great guys. Very Funny people. The hike got a little hairy toward the top and we had some large boulders get knocked loose. Luckily, we were being careful and nobody got hurt. The mountain is Clark Mountain. It's the highest peak in the preserve at 8,000 feet. I heard there's a great view from the top but smoke from wildfires near LA have been leaving quite a bit of smoke in the air.
Nick's awesome 4x4 Ford diesel that he's retrofit to run on vegetable oil. Great truck! You can see the peaks in the distance that we hiked to.
Peter experiencing a little natural style aromatherapy.
This is an agave plant that usually grows a really straight single stalk 10 to 15 feet tall. I don't know why this one got so curvy
Cactus at 7,000 feet. It's so weird to see cactus next to pine and fir trees.
Fir tree next to smaller pinion pines.
More agave plants. Straight this time.
