Trekking on Treble Cone Summit
“When Steve van der Woerd couldn’t persuade his friends to hike with him, he started compiling a list of people who would…” [Via HikerEnthusiast]
And that’s how it starts. If you want your friends to stay friends…and your family to stay family…then you might have to go outside the fold to find a few trail buddies. That’s partly why galavant off to save the toads with a few hardy strangers who don’t mind sleeping along mosquito-infested streambeds and breakfasting on dehydrated eggs that taste like little bits of Spongebob.
If you’re interested in the same, check the Habitat Works site. Gold Coasters can also check the boards at Santa Barbara Hikes to find some trail-happy companions. Elsewhere in Greater Los Angeles it couldn’t hurt to ping Geek Hiker and see what he knows about the local scene. REI is also good if you want to go first class.
