I hiked Mt San Gorgonio yesterday and replaced the reported missing peak sign with an aluminum one. There was a small wood sign someone must have just brought up but since it is painted only it and not engraved it will probably only last a season.

Hopefully these signs get to stay up there for others to enjoy (the small wood one is perfect for selfies and my larger metal is great for group) without some random person taking them home SMH. Weather was fantastic backpacked to dry lake and day hike to the summit and back. Wind was pretty wild Saturday night at dry lake!

If you lost a red digital point and shoot camera on the south fork trail to San Gorgonio I placed it on the message board hopefully it’s owner finds it!

Keep your eyes peeled while walking I was taking my evening stroll and nearly stepped on this juvenile southern pacific rattlesnake while crossing Park Dr near Agua Hedionda Lagoon across from the park and Kelly Elementary. When I returned it had moved on into the preserve and off the street.

I hiked El Cajon Mountain last month and the family at the top remarked that the sign was gone. Apparently it grew legs and walked down the mountain SMH. I made a new sign at work out of 5/8” Aluminum and hiked it up there today.

It weighs about 10 pounds so hopefully it’s heavy and big enough that it stays at the peak for a while. If there’s other peaks in SD county missing their signs let me know and I look into hiking up a new one.
