I went on a jog upto the Mt lowe Tavern via the fire road from lake st yesterday afternoon. Right when u get near the "granite gate" you can see highpoint on a mountain with a faint use trail going across a short ridge west from mt lowe. Is this the Brown mt i am looking for or another? Has any one ever traversed this ridge west from Mt lowe?

went to inspiration pt wednesday via castle cyn. Every thing in every direction is toast.
But the fire teams up there did carve some nice trails going around those little peaks to the west and east of ins pt are these peaks considered the closure zone?

See this map I made
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl....003176,0.006936&t=h&z=18

The closure in that area is WEST of Echo / Mt Lowe Rd & NORTH of Idle hour Trail

Unfortunately Google Maps seems to limit the number of points in a polygon
I have a much more accurate GPX file attached here

Click to download file

Chris Brennen has a writeup here http://www.dankat.com/advents/urubio.htm

Cheers
Matt
