| QuailBS | China Camp to Pine Ridge Camp Date Climbed: May 10, 2008 | |

| Backpacking trip to explore Pine Ridge Camp area. Went down the Black Cone Trail a short ways and then headed up the mountain. Turned around due to slow going in the immense brush and lack of time (it was evening).
Noted a large Purple Martin colony near the Black Cone/ Pine Ridge Junction.
I will return after the forest is re-open, taking advantage of the scorched brush. Hopefully erosion and winter rain to not obliterate the trails from fire scarring.
