Here is a little History of the area::
The Tongva tribe call the mountain Yoát or Joat, which means snow, and the Mohave call it Avii Kwatiinyam. The name Mount San Antonio was probably bestowed by Antonio Maria Lugo, owner of a rancho near present-day Compton, ca. 1840, in honor of his patron saint Anthony of Padua.
In the 1860's, the California Gold Rush brought miners to the mountain, which they called Old Baldy because its top was above the tree line. In 1875 an army surveying party made the first recorded ascent, via Lytle Creek, and estimated the height of the peak. Placer mining gave way to hydraulic mining in the 1880's and continued through the 90's. The Banks (Hocumac) Mine was built below the Devil's Backbone ridge connecting the summit to Thunder Mountain, and the remains of the Gold Ridge Diggings are found near the headwaters of San Antonio Canyon. Stoddard's Resort was built in the 1880's, and early mountain guide William B. Dewey led parties of guests to the summit on a loop corresponding to the present-day Mt. Baldy Trail and Devil's Backbone Trail.
San Antonio Canyon became accessible by automobile in 1908, and the resort town of Camp Baldy grew up. William Dewey built the Baldy Summit Inn, 80 feet below the mountaintop, in 1910, but it was damaged by a cooking fire in 1913 and never rebuilt.Between 1922 and 1927 American physicist Albert Michelson performed a number of experiments involving bouncing a beam of light off a reflector at Lookout Mountain, a prominence 3.2 miles (5.1 km) southwest of the peak, from the observatory at Mount Wilson some 22 miles (35 km) away. The distance was accurately measured and the speed of light calculated to be 299,796±4 km/s.
During Prohibition, the Mount Baldy Lodge at Camp Baldy became known as a place where one could get a drink away from the watchful eyes of the police. Camp Baldy was destroyed by a flood in 1938, but was rebuilt and later became Mt. Baldy Village. The Sierra Club built a mountain hut, known as the "ski hut," on San Antonio Creek in 1935; it burned down that year but was immediately replaced and remains standing today. The ski lift dates to 1952 and was expanded and modernized in 1975.

Thank you for the insight. It was an interesting read.
 
Leaving tonight for LA for 2 days of DisneyLand with the family and then G6 with you guys on Saturday :) See you guys then.
 
My rig is not waterproofed and probably will not get waterproofed....if there is water crossing that is above chasis level and no other way around it can we "HOG" and accept a DQ but continue with the G6 run? I would hate to have to do this but I don't want to flood and not have a runnig rig at all.

there are no dumb questions or people...just dumb actions:ror:

thanks G6'ers"thumbsup"

There is water around the area but if we ask you to do a water crossing it will not be over a half rim deep, but if you a different line then it could get deep. That is what we mean by driving ability.
