Apparently that oil drum was just below (as in virtually the same thing) Chatsworth Peak as recognized by the US government. Here is a google maps plotting of the GPS coordinates for Chatsworth Peak: View Larger Map What does that mean? Well, it means that yesterday I hiked to a vantage point of 2,314 feet […]
I’m radioactive
My dad pointed out that the area I was in yesterday was the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. Specifically I was wandering around Area 1 and the “southern buffer area.” Apparently the land is still quite polluted and the fires last year released more toxic stuff.
