STYLE ICON PAUL NEWMAN

Paul Leonard Newman (January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008) was an American actor, film director, professional racing driver and ....style icon. He won numerous awards, including an Academy Award for best actor in the 1986 movie The Color Of Money and 8 other nominations. He also won several national championships as a driver in Sports Car Club Of America road racing, and his team won in IndyCar racing. The "cargo" pant reminds me of a Michael Bastian cargo pant, don't you think?

Announcing a new Meetup for SoCal Hikers and Peakbaggers!
What: TECBO-- a shameless copycat....
When: Saturday, July 30, 2011 7:00 AM
Where: Icehouse Canyon Trailhead
Mount Baldy Road
Mount Baldy, CA 91759
read Pauls far more eloquent description from 7/24--seems diabolical enough for me to try...

the basics:
               mileage:21 ish
               elevation gain: 8k ish

this is an AN ADVANCED HIKE...i am not your mommy, your camp counselor or at all responsible for your happiness on this hike or in life in general. I am merely someone who likes to hike with cool people...

bring the usual stuff and LOTS OF WATER (like 5ltrs) cause the chance to refill is like 2mile from trailhead...(ie useless...)

Check it out!
