Summer Camping in the Angeles National Forest: Part Two

My bag, tucked close under a tree to help keep it dry during the intermittent rain.

The K-Bar my father gave me a few years back, this time being used as a hanging device.

Late afternoon sun, looking south.

A Stellar's Jay (closely related to the Blue Jay) hung out in and around the campsite for the duration of our stay.

Summer Camping in the Angeles National Forest: Part One

Mount Baden-Powell (9,406ft.)  to the southwest of the campsite. From what I've read, there is an 8 mile hike that climbs 2,800ft up the north face to the summit that is a "must-do" for any serious Southern Californian hiker.

Mid-afternoon sun coming down through the trees, warming the fallen pine needles below.

A surplus of wood, ready for that evening's fire.

Home for the night.

A late-afternoon stormed rolled through, bringing with it rain and lightning. This was the calm before the storm.
