I wish I had a better excuse for not making it to Gaskill other thank my legs were jello after Lawson, but I don't. I wasn't expecting the near-vertical push to the top but it was still a fun hike. I will for sure return to do Gaskill. I am really starting to enjoy these hikes. I must be getting into shape or something like that (lotsa stretching helps too). ;) As always, thanks for everything. 9/100 I did this hike, well half of this hike, last weekend.

I normally sign and photograph summit registers, as you can see from my other reports, but the weather this day got the better of me. I hope to try your wines soon. I am growing a very small amount of Syrah vines in my backyard.

Your comment was likely aimed at a few bad off-roaders. I wouldn't want to necessarily close this particular trail to vehicles, as I feel that OHV enthusiasts and hikers can reasonably share trails. That being said, this was by far the most-littered trail that I have seen in San Diego. I'd hate for a few bad apples to ruin off-roading for everyone, but it sounds like they're working on it.

On the rocks where your jeeps are pictured the last group of easy access, drive to the top folks, left empty shell casings hundreds of them (illegal fire arm usage), beer bottles (smart, alcohol and firearms), water bottles, trash from lunch, and then ran one of their vehicles through the manzanita to take a short cut back to the dirt road. That rock face looking south over Japatul Valley is completely trashed at the moment waiting for your club to drive up and clean it up. Better yet, why not walk-up and carry some trash bags and clean it up? That way you get some excercise, and maybe, just maybe, come to appreciate what the silence and a clean environment should look like. I have to wonder what it would be like to come across three jeeps of people, drunk, with firearms, with my kids and wife. Why don't they close that road to the top. I think I'll call the Forest Service and find out. I hiked up Lawson Peak Wednesday, June 09, 2010.
