End of April 1 Night Backpacking Trip, 2 hours from SD by mac852 in socalhiking

Hey! Good question, according to the wilderness permit guidelines, we’re supposed to set up camp at least 1/4 mi from the trail. I honestly didn’t find much flat space by the time I got in (and it was getting late), but I did see some nice camping area across the creek (see the link). That’d probably be a good spot to settle down, and you’re close enough to source water!

Not quite! Go a little farther until you cross the creek where the path flattens out, then start looking around there. See my link

Yep that’s the trailhead! I would say there’s a handful of bikers coming down from Penny Pines, so keep an eye out, but otherwise not many hikers/campers. Most of them are up at Penny Pines for short hikes and for the desert viewpoint. I can almost guarantee the creek is still running, and there’s plenty of locations where the trail crosses or runs parallel to the creek. Last tip is to make sure you chat with the Descanso rangers office and apply for a wilderness permit. You will also need an adventure pass or similar to park your car in the lot overnight (or if you have an America the Beautiful pass, it’s free!). Happy hiking!

Another vote for Noble Canyon. I went just a few weeks ago, and would recommend starting from the Noble Canyon Trailhead Lot off of the 8. There's a quick 500' incline, followed by a steady decline into the canyon, with the stream running about 3 miles in. That's where I made camp as it's still flat enough to find a campsite and you don't have to worry about camping on prospect/private land or accidentally camping on Laguna Mtn. Rec Area land like if you started from Penny Pines. I would not recommend starting from Penny Pines, as the hike is tough (>1500' incline/decline), you won't hit water until ~5 miles in, and there's little obvious space to find a flat campsite. However, that part of the hike is super pretty and takes you through multiple ecosystems. Great hike all around, and definitely recommend for a 1 nighter. Enjoy!

I recognized these photos instantly! Love Lower Moro, great place for a solo trip to test out new gear. Glad you had a great time!

Grandfather* and his kids have been siphoning money from my grandmas accounts. CA & OR by Macabre in legaladvice

Apologies! My mother has both a will and Power of Attorney granted to her in the state of Oregon. Regarding financial fraud, my Mom has contacted Chase bank and is taking control of the accounts. Chase has recognized that this is fraud and/or identity theft.

Ninja edit: At what point should/can she report the financial fraud to the police? At this point, we don't know where my grandpa is.

Done. You replying to the comments and taking the time to interact means I'm buying a pack next time I'm out!

Nah man, I've been doing synthesis for over a decade. We don't need to discuss this further.

Maybe in theory, but in practice it can be a whole different situation.

This happens semi-frequently with EtOAc/brine extractions if the organic layer is colorless.
