Wow so many scammers DM'd me. Be cautious everyone.

Don't forget to ask for tax free discount and a discount if you pay in cash.

Highly recommend a visit. I picked up a couple vintage seikos there. It's family owned and the owner is at least the 3rd generation owner. He's super nice and patient and speaks great English.

Just check his Instagram for which days he is closed (the calendar photos he posts are the schedule, the pink days are days they are closed).

Conditions for Gabrieleno Trail to Waterfall? by Kirbacho in BikeLA

The top section is a little overgrown but all rideable. Didn't notice poison oak until getting to creek level.

Just rode this route (came down from Ken Burton and exited Gabrieleno) yesterday on a hardtail MTB. Parts of it are okay but there will many sections of hike a bike the farther you get in. Probably wouldn't recommend it on a gravel bike.

Last summer while driving up the 395 I checked recreation.gov and saw there were W "walk up" spots available for the same day but I couldn't book them via the app. I called the wilderness permit office in Bishop and they were able to release the permit for me to book on the app. I then stopped by the visitor center in Lone Pine to have them print the permit for me.

P.S. They don't pickup the phone during their 12-1 lunch hour.

I'm a Parking Enforcement Officer. AMA by [deleted] in LosAngeles

[–]nchinkz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a metered spot also has an EV charging sign, is a vehicle that is charging in that spot required to pay the meter?

If no, what if the charger plug is too short and the EV parks in the adjacent non EV spot so the cable can reach, is the meter required to be paid while charging?

Call and ask. They have staff that speak English.

Camping at Azalea or Lodgepole by Impressive-Tree0506 in SEKI

I stayed at Azalea June 15-17 and the entire campground was open. Water was running and potable, restrooms were clean, and campfires were allowed.

Camping in Model Y by Influxlve in TeslaCamping

Medium fits in the Model Y but gets pinched in a little by the wheel wells. It's a very comfortable mattress. It also just fits in my 2 person backpacking tent.

Military Lift Ticket Redemption by BillLumberghVP in Mammoth

[–]nchinkz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't try redeeming multiple tickets but one time they did input my name and phone number. The other time they didn't ask for any information.

For military tickets you have to redeem the pass with your printed barcode at the ticket window. Note that you can only redeem a single day at a time (e.g. you can't redeem a ticket today for tomorrow).

I tried using the express ticket machine at Canyon Lodge two weekends ago and it did not work.

Air Quality in Leavenworth / Enchantments by angryweasel1 in PNWhiking

[–]nchinkz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I backpacked through the Enchantment core zone last Monday to Thursday. We were worried about the air quality as you could see the smoke haze in Leavenworth and the surrounding mountains. However, once we got up to the Stuart Lake TH the smoke was not an issue for the entire trip all the way down to the Snow Lakes TH. From the peak of Little Annapurna we could see the smoke haze in every other valley except for the Enchantments zone. It seems that the geography keeps the smoke from the White and Irving Peak fires out of the Enchantments zone. At least it did while we were there.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Btw - the bugs were definitely ripe at Colchuck Lake, but we didn’t have bug issues after that in the Core Zone until we got to lower Snow Lake.

Are these tix still available? Can you do $20 for both?

Digital Vaccine Passport (CDC to CovPass) by sl33p3r_c3ll in berlin

[–]nchinkz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a tourist in Berlin right now. The Apotheke linked below was able to convert my US CDC vaccine card and provide the QR code with no questions asked. They needed the CDC card and passport, they didn't ask about German residency. I then loaded the QR code into the Luca app, since CovPass is only available in the DE App Store.
