Snow comes early on October 16, 2005 in the Angeles National Forest along the Baden-Powell Trail. It started snowing above the 7,000 foot level late in the night of October 15, 2005. The winds were between 20-30 mph. Rain at the lower elevations. Snow at the higher elevation. It was a good day for a hike.
Bear tracks along the Baden-Powell trail. The size of the track is almost 6 inches across. That is my size 10-1/2 Montrail boot. Judging from the size of the print, this was one big bear! Maybe this print belongs to the Abominable Snowman who walks on his tippy-toes!
