Things about mt Baldy, you may not know.

Went up to pick some berries to make pies and found we were a few weeks too early. So I showed my friend Joe some interesting things and told him some stories and a little history. You may or may not find them interesting but we made the best of another trip into the range.

Happy jacks ...awe my childhood memories just came back happy times at happy jacks

[@PHARRAOH]

its cool how certain words or visuals act as keys to reopen parts of our memories long put away

[@matthewgoodenough3391]

Hello, my name is Matthew. Am 43 years old. My parents passed away many years ago. Watching your video and hearing you say happy Jack's fish Fram. Brought back a memory of my parents talking about living there and working at the farm. Thank you for that. Can you tell me where that place is? I would like to visit. I've within the past year. Have been introducing my eleven year old son to prospecting. We have been watching your videos they are amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@PHARRAOH]

happy jacks was right off Azusa hwy/hwy 38 right after the gateway ranger station. if you continue up the road to the east fork river, they find gold there every day of the year and have since the late 1800's

[@matthewgoodenough3391]

Thank you so much. Safe travels to you.

Word on trail is that waterfall is flowing good going towards the scout camp. Im guessing the still pic on end of video. Real cool Tongva village setup. The Etiwanda reserve has a monument depicting the Tongva village that used to be their habitat in the area.

[@PHARRAOH]

I began building one but someone trashed tt

[@lordwestoff]

Thanks Alan as always. Would be cool to do another group camp at the old Boy Scout camp. I wonder if the crazy guy is still around it there somewhere

[@PHARRAOH]

Represent bro!!!!!!! We also do outdoor education there to the many local school children. Thank you Alan.

[@PHARRAOH]

My ex girl friends kids all went to school there, they were taught some really cool stuff. the school has random snake and bear drills, takes them to ice house and shows them poison plants, med plants edible, etc.

[@kevinengland8209]

I wonder if that guy on the trail is related to Ernest T. Bass. 😃 Good Times !!

[@PHARRAOH]

I thin he is related to Ernest T, ass!

[@socalventures1]

I love your videos. All the random facts and history (and personal stories) you give are priceless. 👍 We are heading out that way this weekend.

@@PHARRAOH I always try to watch all your videos. Very important info in all your videos. Hope to one day make it out on one of your azusa canyon adventures.

[@redwhiteblue7831]

Very cool video... The history was awesome, learned a lot about my very own backyard. Really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for sharing. Take care Alan. 🇺🇲

cheers man, wait till you hear some of things I saw this weekend

[@JJ-JOHNSON]

I'd love to come and see all of the stuff your filming, thanks for sharing.

Any time. Just give me a few weeks notice

[@3nineteen319]

Everything I have learned about the Mt. Baldy area has been from you PHARRAOH. Thanks ! The last time I was in there was around 1977 , when I was six years old. It's long past due I make a point to get in there and explore.

[@PHARRAOH]

Say when. I'll show you some cool stuff I don't show main stream. My, secret, stash, if you will🤣

[@bertnerny]

Amazing, I’m surprised they found rubies there.

I seen that same scud cloud the other day.

[@PHARRAOH]

[@lisahesse6783]

I have eaten at that restaurant several times. I would drive up to the river and try my luck with my sluice box to get some gold but never got any. Then I would drive to that restaurant for some much needed food on the back roads.

[@PHARRAOH]

The only area they ever found any real gold was near the notch. While using those water monitors and were shur down when the cities water became all muddy. There were a few other mines. One on the hogs back by Stoddard road, it caved in, killed the miner and his grave is across the street still

[@WrongwayProductions]

Great video hope the state fixes the danger to others , if it was a mountain lion or bear it would of been delt with the first time it happened . The homeless issue is the same here in my state and the Leo's have no answers to how to fix it ,be safe Allen I know you can handle yourself and most of all ty for taking us along.

[@PHARRAOH]

cheers

[@chriswertz1438]

Thanks, it will take awhile to get my brothers n I together. We each hav a detector, but we are not experts. I remember you saying it could be anywhere from the 2 to the fire station. The other 2 guys where never caught?

[@PHARRAOH]

Not the two, of Glendora ridge. They were caught and died

[@chriswertz1438]

Thank you, would you like to go with us? Most of metal detecting is boring. The saying is 9 of 10 targets you dig up is trash. My experience so far is 10 of 10!

[@PHARRAOH]

Do you really believe a president or political party of any kind has anything to do with the way the world is? Not everything is political. We've got to fulfill THE BOOK. It's inevitable. No pulling out of this nose dive. Tsil spin, going down in flames. Not even the red hat's Messiah can do anything. They are going to be at a loss, when he wins, does his 4 years and not a Dann thing is different. Then what? It's like watching Jerry springer

[@chriswertz1438]

Alan, I'm looking for your video where you tell the story of the thief who has caught around the fire station. You talked about the trail he too downhill from the 2. My brothers and i want to take that trail, how many miles is it? Thanks!

[@PHARRAOH]

The 3 guys you're asking about robbed a Wells Fargo stage coach and they hitting up the mount baldy road.two of them continued up. To mount baldy the other one split off with the loot presumably and headed West where Glendora ridge road is now.he made it all to be across. Cold water Canyon to the East Fork where he headed up river.he was located in caught where the fire station is now straightened across from the Suzanne. Canyon.now if you go back in Susanna Canyon till it turns left which would be West on the left side or the South side of the river. There is a prospect or a shallow mine about 20 feet above the trail on the left. If you go taking medical detector and please let me know if you find anything. The guy was hung on-site where the fire department is right. There and again they said they never found the money. It was about 30. 3000 in gold bag then which is a small fortune now. Another place that could be is where lendor ridge road leaves the mountain ball. The road and goes straight up headed South and then makes a turned to the right headed West. If you look to the left side there's a ditch where that ditch. Begins I believe there used to be a small waterfall enter is a short tunnel there as well.he could have stashed it anywhere along the way or the. People who caught him could have just split it app amongst themselves and never 70 thing either way the world will probably never know but good luck I hope you. Guys find something in please again Let Me Know anything of interest. That you find out.

Always been a big fan of fresh figs. In the immortal words of Colonel Sherman T Potter, nothing goes better with a good Scotch than Fig Newton's. Well, that and swimming with bow legged women. Surprised you didn't stop to visit Jacob Shinner on your way in or out.

[@PHARRAOH]

he was in the shower when he sang that

[@nature_exploring]

Is Bob still around, or did they deal with that problem? I went a couple of months ago to Red, White, and Blue, but didn't see anyone, but I was carrying a machete to cut away the nettles, so that might have been a little intimidating.

[@PHARRAOH]

he, may have taken the hint. I hear, he was voicing his anger again at someone who went in prepared for his b.s. and ended up beaten and zip tied to a tree legs and arms around the tree. gorilla taped his yap shut. I hear he may still be there to this day but I have zero interests trying to find or free him. Besides, its been almost 6 months since that rummer was going around. He may be gone or he may be GONE.

Are you still doing volunteer meet ups for graffiti removal?

[@PHARRAOH]

Yes

[@the1plantguy]

Thats why you bring a gun.

[@PHARRAOH]

People are quick to say this.but then what, you shoot him? , and then what, go to court? besides how many people have you killed? I mean literally how many people have you killed? You don't have to answer that, you think to yourself. What would it be like in your mind dealing with that you've taken a life When you have probably avoided doing so. I have a friend that always shoots his mouth off I would have shot him I would have done this I would've. Done that but there's been a couple of times when hes been with me in a predicament and he failed to step forward and do anything. There are consequences for every move you make in life. I, myself rarely ever take a gun, because I really don't need it. I had a piece of osage with me. That, would have separated is jaw right up the hinge to his skull and made him remember me, For the rest of his life. When I, myself think back at my doings, I constantly battle my mind, did I need to go to that extreme? Taking a life weighs heavy on a believer in God! I, you, we all, will be judged. Eternity, sounds like a mighty long ass time to me!

[@the1plantguy]

@@PHARRAOH I totally get it. But I would bring a gun only for protection. If this guy tried to stab me, would I use it? I don’t know and really don’t want to find out. It depends on the situation. I would not escalate to shooting right away. It would only be if there were no forseeable way to avoid being stabbed. . But having an option to protect my life if I am in imminent danger is a bit of a comfort to me. I agree that sometimes its best to not carry. Like when I was held up at gun point during the robbery of the store that I managed. That was scary and did not carry a gun then. It might have made that situation worse even if I never attempted to use it. But God allowed us the ability(or right) to self defense, deadly or otherwise. The commandment says “thou shalt not murder”. Too many people read it as “thou shalt not kill”. And yes you would be in court but that is probably better than dead. You just need to really choose the right time to use it.

[@PHARRAOH]

Actually, it does read, "thou shall not Kill." Did you read it it some new age translation? I questioned this in Isreal, whi I e on the holy land tour. They had translations side by side at a site near the Temple on the mount. People try again and again to create loopholes but none have managed to find error or create one. Which is pretty amazing, with all the corruption are educated heads working so hard to do so!

[@the1plantguy]

@@PHARRAOH the greek translation (i have heard by our pastor) translates more accurately to thou shalt not murder.

[@the1plantguy]

@@PHARRAOH why would God tell Israel to commit killing other nations? Or people? Even in defense if we are not allowed to kill?
