The San Gabriels, Where Balloons Go To Die...

In a previous post I believe I noted how during any given ride up in the San Gabriel Mountains you are bound to run into a balloon or two while pedaling along. Usually I will come across them while mountain biking; today's sighting was on the road, lower Mt. Baldy Road to be exact. 

I appears that not even Tinkerbell could give Dora enough lift to help her over this chainlink fence, and so her goal of reaching the mountains fell a bit short. All she could do is look through this stand of California Black Walnut at the snow covered peaks in longing, and hope for a big gust of wind to come along to render some assistance.
