Rode bike with a friend on the west ford to Cogswell Dam and beyond to see how far we could go to reach the Red Box Rincon junction. We went to about 12 mi mark from Hwy 39 so we were about 0.5 to 1 mi from the junction.
Weather was nearly perfect for a ride. Saw a bear on the trail and scare the heck out of my buddy. Did not see a soul after passing the Dam. Will come back soon to do a 28-mile complete loop. _________________ I went out to the country so i could examine the simple things in life. Henry Thoreau
Just ignore the (No Trespassing) sign on the fence. The gate is open most of the time; I remembered that the only time it was close on the eve of Sep. 11th of that year.
As long as you keep hike/ride on the main trail and keep off some private property driveways; will be Okay. _________________ I went out to the country so i could examine the simple things in life. Henry Thoreau
What is beyond the Dam? Are you thinking of Devils Canyon? _________________ I went out to the country so i could examine the simple things in life. Henry Thoreau
you're going to hike on private property?! someone who will not be named would not approve!
hehe!!! We wouldn't want to start another never ending thread on that subject.
Calico - where abouts did you see the bear? About how many miles were in when you saw it? I used to ride my bike back there a lot, but that was only to fly fish. This was a long time ago when I was only into fishing and photography.
When do you plan on doing the loop? _________________ There is no place for me in this world, Chanchito, I don't belong out there and I don't belong here. So I'm going into the wilderness, probably to die. I hope to see you again Chancho, maybe in the next life.

Rode from Mt Wilson to SR-39 a short while ago via the Rim Trail & Newcomb Pass
Nice ride...
Was Looking at Red Box to SR-39 sometime
Curious as to the location of the bear.... Any memory of where it might be?
Thanks
Matt
