Not the same Mt. Baldy famous in skateboarding circles for its classic pipeline??? The same Mt. Baldy in so many magazines, including some early issues of "SkateBoarder Magazine???" I have a really cool shot of that place, but I'm on the iPad and not the other computer, otherwise I'd post it pronto (hafta be done later). Ya know, I was tempted to look up San Antonio Heights in my Trucker's Atlas, but never got around to it because I was watching the games... and who would've THUNK the Giants would pull out a victory???
Oh, well, such is life, and my interest in the Super Bowl wanes. Bighorn sheep are cool: I've seen small flocks or herds in Borrego and the Rocky Mountains, up to a dozen at a time, and they always draw my attention. Interesting animals, those bighorn sheep, and very elegant in their movements, just like my cat Sage. Got another cat named Dixie, but she's a fat cat, and she lacks the natural grace of bighorns. I suppose I could duct tape some horns to her head in a scientific experiment to improve her balance, but I haven't gotten around to it. Sage is a different story, he's a real technical rock climber's cat, and he can leap to astonishing heights. Both cats were rescued off Craigslist, thereby saving me shelter fees, 10??? Normally, I would rescue shelter animals, but my run-in with the crooked greaseball D.A. here in Dago left me no choice as far as fees are concerned; however, these cats would've gone to shelters anyway (a virtual death sentence in this economy), so I like to think that I cut out the middleman in the process of saving the cats' lives. Enough said, I'm back to "Kingdom of Heaven"---a movie I like even though I'm not terribly religious. Adios!!! "The Railsplitter"
As far as I know, I'm the only person who has sailed a Laser out there, landed on all four islands, explored them in detail and slept on the three largest, including primo bivouacs atop Isla Norte (467') and Middle Island (251'). The view from the 672' summit of Isla Sur is cool, but you have other people on the island... I like having the remaining islands to myself, casually exploring, watching the sunset, and generally hanging out with the wildlife. Gotta go, I'm on a mission to Dago this morning, thanks for your reply. "ADIOS!!!"
