Yes Paul, Jobe would do that if he was not at the springs already. When you leave the springs going toward Lake Arrowhead it is 1 mile to the barbed wire fence. But it is 1/4 of a mile to where you turn away from the creek. So you must go another quarter of a mile to stay legal. When you do you will be in a large valley with many flat areas for camping. Be advised the trek from the springs to that barbed fence is a 600 foot climb in elevation. And it is 1 3/4 miles from there to hwy 173 where you parked. But only another 300 foot climb to get there.
It was very crowded at the springs yesterday yet still very nice. I will be making a trip report after I leave today. I counted 11 tents when I left just before sunset. Maybe one of those was yours?
Thanks in advance for hauling any extra trash out.
