Took a trail new to me - up Mt. Lowe rd. from Cheney trail and thought it would be nice to make it a loop by hiking down to dawn mine via this connection to the dawn mine trail and back through the creek. We kept climbing higher and higher and when we got to the dawn mine trail it started okay, but then it became a thin trail made from slanted rock with loose rocks scattered about. This would be okay if the edge wasn’t a 200 ft drop off a cliff. I thought maybe it’d last just for a min so scooted on my bottom but then got really scared and just turned around and started back the way I came and took road back down. Has anyone done this section of trail before and safety navigated it or thought it was crazy? Wish I took pics of this section but I was too scared. I have many other pics of the road/earlier in the trail. Kicking myself for not thinking to take any.

My daughter (16) really wants in-person therapy instead of virtual. I’ve called the mental health line at KP several times and they tell me there’s no in-person appointments available on their 3rd party platforms and seeing someone within KP means it won’t be weekly or even on a regular basis due to availability. They basically said to do a google search of therapists that accept Kaiser and do in-person appts. That hasn’t worked and I’ve tried calling so many places and none take Kaiser and/or are only virtual. Anyone know of someone in the San Gabriel valley area (Pasadena preferably) who is contracted with Kaiser and has in-person appointments? And what’s with all the therapists only doing virtual still?? Covid was years ago and many people want in-person!

Thought I was gonna die here
