Our group went for another adventure somewhere along the East Fork River of the San Gabriel Mountains. We stayed (most of us) overnight in a place that is also special to our friend Eric who passed away just recently. We call this place “The Beach”. The area that covers the whole hike is filled with historic abandoned mines, old road and a hidden water falls. Due to safety issues, we cannot reveal publicly the locations of the mines. The group consists of Alan, Jennifer & Steve, Bill (Solobackpacker), Luis, Martin, Mike, Jason (ReWhite&Blue78), Steve and myself.
FYI, fire of any sorts including stoves are prohibited in the LA National Forest and San Gabriel Mountains until December 2020 due to “extreme” conditions. It is in effect as of Oct. 23rd under Forest Order No. 05-01-19-06.
beautiful area and looks like a fun crowd too! awesome there is such a nice flat area for camping, that’s hard to find.. neat mine too. thanks for taking us along.
Sweet video Robert, what is the name of the soup/stew dish that you made, it looked delicious. So cool that Bill, catching fish at the fall 👍🏻 Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. See you soon ✌🏻
Great video… I had a blast at Camp Grey Skull… it was nice seeing you again. The buffet was delicious. Exploring the mines and waterfall was awesome. Can’t wait for the next one. Thank you for sharing, take care Robert.
Could you please give me the gps address for the trail head?, I will be flying in to lax on 4/14 going to Joshua Tree for one night and looking for another one night place.
Awesome excursion and video Robert! After all these years I still have yet to camp out in the East Fork. I’m gonna have to tag along with you guys this up coming year.
Thanks for another great video!
I’ve been to east fork many times sluicing and panning gold,I was told not use the river water for drinking or cooking because of high mercury content,and not to eat the fish out of it for tht reason,any truth to that?
I know exactly where u guys met up at. Man gotta love the east fork. Always a good day up there wish I could’ve met up with you guys. Planning on going on a nice hike this Wednesday. Your gear is top notch Robert 👍
I want to go up there. Any tips on keeping meat and other perishables cool? You guys looked like you had a feast up there. Would love to see a video on this.
Good times buddy until the next one 😁
A very nice spot. Hell yeah!
Nice adventure video just as a warning all fish caught in east fork are catch and release only

Very nice! Devils Gulch is a beautiful waterfall. Reminds me of one I went to in Ventana.
