Went up and hiked to Little Jimmy Trail Camp (free with Adventure Pass) this weekend. It’s on the northeast side of Angeles National Forest. Took about 2 hours to get there, and with plenty of clouds coming in, we were nervous of some storms. Luckily they were all past when we arrived. It was sunny and pretty out. The hike is only about 2 miles long, but uphill with lots of switchbacks for the first mile. It’s a pretty awesome hike too, along the edge of big hills and over ridges the whole way. It’s part of the Pacific Crest Trail too actually. At the camp, I think you’re at about 7500 feet up! Highest we’ve ever camped! There are maybe 6 sites or so, but plenty of space so lots more could fit there really, but only two other groups camping this Saturday night. We explored the surrounding area a bit, but mostly just relaxed. We made a fire, as it was colder than we thought it’d be-Mel brought shorts thinking it would be hot, ha, what a rookie! J We bought one of those freeze dried dinners to make also- veggie lasagna, and it was amazing! Seriously, nothing different tasting about it; tasted so good! We just hung out by the fire some that night, secured our food and went to sleep. We woke up once from what sounded like a large branch breaking, and we were pretty certain it was our branch our food was hanging from, but neither of us figured it made sense to get out and check it out. Didn’t hear anything else, so we ended up dozing back to sleep. In the morning, turned out it was not our branch so we’re not sure what it was…took the hike back down in the morning sun, and it was beautiful.
