Me 11 years ago, my ancient backpack roped to a cargo pack I believe up on Mount Islip on a #hiking trail repair project and over nighter with my bicycle left at Deer Flats Group Campground. I was much younger then.

I hike, bike, do Parks & Recreation volunteer. Reads books! 🚶 🧪If climate change was not happening, we would not be observing it. 👽I ♥ Intron science ♥🚲I am mostly on Blue Sky and will be leaving Mastodon: https://bsky.app/profile/fredhikes.bsky.social
I hate the political shit that people post, tens of millions of people posting the same political shit a thousand times a day on a dozen social media platform, pretending that doing so is "activism," that posting the same shit everyone has seen a thousand times already is "doing something" and "fighting back."
I follow people for outdoor stuff, then have to mute or unfollow them when they post political shit over and over, pointlessly, stupidly. I'm sick of all the pointless political shit.
Cleaning out monument trees for #hiking people to be able to see that they are monuments to people who have died from about 20 years ago to some 25 years ago. Dunn Canyon Trail rest area got maintained so things don't look unkept and shoddy #volunteersmakeadifference #volunteering #hike
This morning I cleaned up about a dozen piles of human dung before clearing the brush and tree limbs that formed a curtain where humans felt comfortable p00ping -- on public lands near the Dunn information kiosk. It occurred to me that I am, in fact, a p00p fairy :) Many volunteers handle such clean-ups
@bluesky nearly at 22 million users, will likely reach 22 million by the end of today. Twitter is a nazi white supremacist ugly hellscape crammed packed with violent people who are no longer blocked thanks to South African Apartheid Elon Musk

I found an exhaust pipe for a 1972 in among the brush and tree limbs I cleared today along Dalton Wilderness Park, lost lo these many decades and yet it is mine now, volunteers get to keep everything we find so mine! I love my new exhaust pipe. #hiking #FindersKeepers
Cut back ladder fuels at Dunn information kiosk which was also being used as a #hiker #hiking impromptu toilet. Cleaned up the fresh dung and stacked the branches for the wood chipper. Will not be used for a toilet any more, I would hope!
My water catchment and debris basins are empty of water. It used to be that there would be several thousand acre feet of water here, percolating in to the San Gabriel Valley aquafer. As anthropogenic warming has progressed, the water has dried up :( This is water we used to drink #climatechange
Don't piss of women, guys. Seriously. Just don't. Pick up your laundry when they tell you to, put it in the hamper like they tell you to.
