Hey All, some friends and I took a day trip from crowded Los Angeles up to the El Paso mountains to take a walk through Burro Schmidt tunnel.

An interesting landmark, the tunnel was dug by one guy in the early 1900's, took him 38 years. What perseverance! It goes all the way through a mountain, you can walk through one end to the other.

I knew the road directly there was a pretty easy trail, so I decided the guys I was with needed a bit of a challenge. We took the round about way to get there, had some fun trails, saw some beautiful springtime desert scenery.

I made another rookie video of the trip, take a look if you have a minute or twelve.

Dan.

Hi Dan, a lot greener than the last time I was there (about 7 years ago).
