    LSA has so drastically changed in the last 5 years, it pales in comparison with its former self; I rarely recommend that canyon anymore. Some of the best in So-Cal are Middle Fork Lytle, Bonita,...

    If your going further north into Washington,
    Davis Creek, south of Rainier--n of Hwy 12 is a classic. East of Rainier: Skookum Flats, Mesatchee creek and Summit Creek are all good.

    Yeah, for some reason I still have the memory card. The camera didn't survive the canyon, I dried it out but it never powered up again. Send me a PM with an address and I'll mail you the xD card.
