Gazing at this fragment of a map of the intersection of Lake and Loma Alta and the Angeles National Forest above was an excercise in nostalgia for me for several reasons, including:
That obscured reference to Camp Chiquita on the left middle — it was the old Camp Fire Girls overnight hangout on Fair Oaks just below the Zorthian Ranch.
The fact that a house I used to own, on Alpine Villa Drive, the last street up Lake, is included within its margins.
Its general aura of c. 1958 carefree mountaineering. It was a different age in Altatuna. I was a 3-year-old playing in the dirt just off the map’s right edge on Sunny Oaks Circle as the map was drawn.
It came in an e-mail courtesy of mountain man Paul Ayers about an upcoming presentation of his, the text of which follows:
Next Tuesday, July 13, 2010, at 7 p.m. , I will be presenting a PowerPoint slideshow on the Camp Sierra Trail which runs from the Cobb Estate up the west ridge above Las Flores Canyon and then to Camp Sierra. The presentation will be made at the monthly Altadena Crest Trail Restoration Working Group (“ACTRWG”) meeting which is held at the Altadena Community Center located at 730 E. Altadena Drive.
The show was originally put together for a May 2010 presentation to the Forest Service as part of a pitch to have the trail restored. It is my hope that restoration of the trail will be part of the master plan for the Cobb Estate. It is also possible that a restored Camp Sierra Trail may serve to close the “Skylane Gap” in the Altadena Crest Trail.
This is a nice trail with strong historical documentation in the form of maps, aerial photographs, newspaper articles and trail site artifacts [see examples attached]. A restored trail would complete a nice loop from Cobb Estate up to Camp Sierra, over to Echo Mountain and down the Sam Merrill.
This will be the first in a series of presentations I plan to do on the major “Forgotten Trails of Altadena”. These will not be nostalgia shows though history will play a role. Rather it is my hope to see all these trails restored.
Hope to see you there
Whenever I hear the term “master plan” I make the sign of the cross. After reading your piece, I’m feeling hopeful. Can’t we call it Trail Restoration plan instead?
The same thing crossed my mind, Pasadena Adjacent! Thanks for sharing, Larry. This sounds like a sincere effort.
Funny, how we all get shivery hearing the words “master plan.” Hope to make this, though.
It’s strange to see how many different blogs there are about this subject. It’s awesome to stumbled upon the one that provides a lot of valuable stuff if this ever comes up for me another time.
Some cases are simple. Its main goal is to make the elements that must be somewhere. What women bring the make-up Fake Replica Handbags or pocket, the bags can be carried over. Anyway, the practice that counts. But for women, plus size style, handbags are optional. In this case, are not unique handbags that match the size of the company.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
i really like the opinion of yours and also the views of other people.Thanks for sharing, keep posting.

Good issues?I’d be aware that as somebody who truly doesn’t write on blogs so much (in truth, this may be my first submit), I don’t assume the time period ‘lurker’ may be very turning into to a non-posting reader. It’s now not your fault the least bit , however perhaps the blogosphere may come up with a better, non-creepy identify for the ninety% folks that enjoy studying the content material .
There is clearly a bunch to realize about this. I would like to many thanks for that efforts you have complete in #writing this# fine article. I’m hoping the matching most excellent work from you sometime soon as well.make money web
