Considering hiking telescope later this year. Worth it?Drove up through Route 6 and down through Death Valley one day. Now headed to Orange County fair and the beach.
Maybe he wanted to include the range in Spain too?It's singular, chief.
Spent more time up north, but yeah... Beautiful stuff up and down. Until you get to the Nevada side, because Nevada is terrible.
Definitely. I've been close but not hiked to the top. Some of my wife's family has, though. I think you can see the highest and lowest point in the lower 48 from there, Mt Whitney and Badwater. Make it a lot later this year. Very hot. Ballarat isn't far from there. You can start at the base if you have a Razr and go up to Mason's old hideout. It's amazing up there. We saw a big family of Bighorn sheep not too far from Telescope a few years ago.Considering hiking telescope later this year. Worth it?

Just Googled. That view is ridicules. I need to go. Problem is all my family wants to do is go to Disney and crowded beaches.Awwww, man - i loved my dozen years in Reno as much for it being such a great town to get out of as the gambling & 24hr lifestyle. Pyramid Lake, Emerald Bay & Shakespeare @ Sand Harbor up in Tahoe; fishing Hot Creek or the East Walker; the monthly summer nights the Flamingo staff would rent a house on the 5th fairway of Plumas Pines Golf Course for our preferred customers, play a round there, BBQ, a few hours gettin loaded & playing silly homegames, then some night golf/balldiving, back to the house for serious consumables & hi-stakes cards all night then another round in the morning before heading back to town; or just grabbing a tube & a sixpack and floating in Upper Sardine looking out on Sierra Butte in total enthrall. Dang i miss them hills....
Driving through OC always sucks, but Friday afternoon is the double suck. But if you need to be stuck in OC traffic, Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna would be my choice. Highly recommend you check out the ballers and womenz at Main Beach.Drove up through Route 6 and down through Death Valley one day. Now headed to Orange County fair and the beach.
yeah, boyeeeee! and, from what i hear, the world hasn't really discovered it yet. it's still a privately-owned, undeveloped, amateurly-run campground.Just Googled. That view is ridicules. I need to go. Problem is all my family wants to do is go to Disney and crowded beaches.

thing i like best about the seam between the Great Basin & Sierra Nevada where Reno sits is that Sardine & this out at Pyramid are like an hour apart

Hope you have your straight billed hat and monster truck handy. OC is terrible, beautiful beaches though. Don't try to go anywhere from 6 am until 12 pm and then from 3 pm until 8 pm and you will be fine.Ugh. Driving anywhere near Orange county is a nightmare. This place is a total ####hole.
What's your job?Got a project there now... Hwy 217 bridge leading to east side of UCSB campus.
First of all, it's "flat-billed". Second, and most importantly, 90% of the flat-billed, inked-up, monster truck drivers are "just visiting" from the 909/951.Hope you have your straight billed hat and monster truck handy.

Had a blast. The acrobatic and circus acts were really good. Kids had a blast. Best fair we've been to. Stayed in Lake Forest and went to the Spectrum last night. Really cool place.nirad3 said:What's your job?
Gaucho here. Got a speeding ticket on that damn stretch going from pre-graduation brunch back to my apartment. *******.

Traffic does suck though. Had a 10am in downtown LA today and opted for the train. Much better.
Also -- hope you enjoyed the fair. I grew up literally across the street; parents still live there. We go a couple times every summer. The food (and beer) is expensive but definitely good in terms of "fair food". Ranges from "fried anything" to those massive, Game of Thrones style turkey legs, to well... more "fried anything". Always good music there. Wish I could go to the reggae-fest they got goin on tonight.
Saw an Eagles cover band playing. That him?Buttonhook said:Driving through OC always sucks, but Friday afternoon is the double suck. But if you need to be stuck in OC traffic, Pacific Coast Highway in Laguna would be my choice. Highly recommend you check out the ballers and womenz at Main Beach.
If you make it to the OC Fair, and see a band of old guys playing some rock-n-roll, my dad's the drummer.
