That's so kool you camped there!

 

[SKPC]

Yep! Our family has 160 acres next to the Poppy Reserve. I spend a lot of time out there working on repairing our fences in the spring and set up my campsite while out working there. We are in the process of permanently protecting it through conservation easements and through an upcoming lowball sale to Transition Habitat...a local conservation group who will manage it in perpetuity. Very special place out there as you know @birdzgarage. I will also help in the management of it moving forward.
Today, I changed out the front chainring, tires and pedals on the Hawthorne then rode up San Diego Creek and Trabuco creek for 52 miles here in the so-cal flats.

Billy and I rode the last leg of the Indian Head Rail Trail, 25 miles. That's Billy starting our journey down a steep hill from the parking area.

This is with the rear brake applied

This is the end if the west end of the trail

A few shots along the way

Made a stop at Lisa's Pub

Then back up the hill

Good ride today

Ugh! You're smashing the flowers!!!

Ha! Yea, we all hear in the news don't smash the flowers, and it is true. I lightly set the bike down in them in my campsite to take a few pics. No damage or harm came to any flowers seen in the pics. All those images were taken on our 160 acre piece.... See above explanation of what my family is currently doing to protect those flowers. Every year, I go and spend 4-6 days fixing cut fence and blocking new off road vehicle incursions into our 160 acre property. I have spent hundreds or hours protecting those very flowers you may think I am smashing. I am their most loyal defender and protector...…. Vehicles are the biggest threat to natural areas and flowers especially. When you walk on or in them, they spring back up as long as someone doesn't follow your footsteps.
This year, they (local off-roaders) cut out our eastern boundary barb wire fence and shot out and tore down all our no trespassing signs I put up last year in the spring.....(every year this occurs) These animals then punched a new road across 1/2 mile of pristine ground to the west side, where they cut the fence there to get out.....all new road, millions of smashed flowers and damage that will take 8 years to recover...all because of some idiots cutting fence and tearing down signs. Took me five days to fix the cut fence areas, re-sign the entire perimeter and fill back in with a spade the damage caused by these clueless knuckleheads. These neanderthals also got 4-5 trucks stuck in my camp in an always-wet area. They then tore my camp apart using my rock fireplace, stolen r/e signs, old lumber and busted up furniture to try to extract themselves from the 3-4 foot deep mudholes they created.
I burned all their garbage and filled in the holes by hand with a spade. Hmmm......if I had caught them, my 38-special would have come out to have a little pep talk with their big stuck tires. Some dummies just have to ruin it for everyone else. I got a little hot there Mike for being accused of smashing flowers when I spent 6 days defending them! No worries though mate, you said the right thing in the end… Don't smash flowers...skpc
