skyline training

Postby HikerLinda » Wed Feb 27, 2013 10:24 pm

While on the skyline today for our 3rd training day within a 3 week period, we achieved our goal today of over 5000 feet.

Up in the area, I noticed a large blackish rock with faint wording on it......looks like it read PALM SPRINGS 5 MILES? Does anyone know about this rock, I've not seen it mentioned on some of the blogs we have read.

Thanks! Hiker Linda

:) That's what we nick named it also............I did some research last night and the faded sign read PALM SPRINGS 5 miles, this man said in his you tube video.

Yep, a "do-gooder" came to town a couple a year's ago to clean up the trail, covered up a genuine Peice of history.

Still pissed off at the idiot.
