I was up in San Gorgonio, in the early 80's, probably. I was up there the week before ThanksGiving. Weather was awful, cold, windy and SNOWING above about 10,000 feet.
I spent the night at High Meadow Springs, which SOUNDS picturesque until you realize I was in the middle of an overnite storm and woke up to 4" of snow on the ground and NO sun visibility at all.
I had 2 or 3 frames left in my camera! What a Moron.
On the way down / out, we were walking thru Slushy Meadows, one of the Headwaters of the Santa Ana River, when we saw a tree you couldn't see over lying across the trail. The trunk was 5' + in diameter and it had fallen the night before during the storm. I came back and visited that tree for a decade before it finally disappeared back into the mulch. What a noise it must have made when it fell. It had fallen right across the trail meaning a cool detour Around it. By the next spring, the rangers had taken a 'section' out of it and rolled the slice out of the way so the trail was again open.
Too much is never enough
