Reconsidering Our Options

Have hiked Eaton* Canyon before, & have been planning to do so again. (On a weekday, 'though. Fucking losers w/ "jobs.") But two fatal slip-&-falls in a wk. are turning that have been into had been.

*Named after the Eaton who was a mayor of L.A., & ancestor/relative (can't remember the exact relationship) of our friend Barbara? Doubtless named after the Eaton family, at least.

Two in one week is pretty crazy. Stay safe, old chum! How about visiting one of g's beautiful semi-hidden paths?

Well, along w/ the how to get there via public transportation stuff we have about the canyon, we've a map or two of the staircases & so on, but we've been on most of them, & they aren't terribly refreshing to the psyche, w/ all the monied people & their houses surrounding the hiker. Plus concrete & asphalt.

Haven't been to Eaton Canyon since the '80s, so it would be like new to us.

And while we aren't the mountain goat we used to be, we aren't young & dumb any more, & have a healthy fear of edges. So don't worry. Besides, we'll never get off our ass.
