You can help him - go to the bridge (your a leader after all)
Yes but I haven't read all the pages so I don't know which bridge.
You think you could re-post the cordiantes to the dead drop, I might get there before Cu Roi does.
Do you have a helicopter?

I'm going to go there right now and look, we'll see who gets there first Cu Roi, we'll see
*sigh* Cu Roi is NOT THE BAD GUY HERE. Christ people, leave off...
And, for your own saftey, if you are heading out, please, do not go alone. Just common sense for hiking, yea?
Why is it ok for Cu_Roi to hike alone but nobody else...I guess that means he lacks common sense according to Nos..so why are we counting on someone without common sense?

Because you can't help but count on someone who takes off before everyone else, someone has to get it, and sounds like he'll get there first.

FOUND SOMETHING INTERESTING

I have been lurking for quite a while now. I found something interesting or maybe just coincidental while researching the bridge to nowhere.

Private Property For Sale By "Bridge To Nowhere"
Frank Saunders
A few generations back, my grandfather and his partners claimed the Horseshoe Mine and Horseshoe Mine Annex on the East Fork of the San Gabriel River outside Los Angeles. In the 1930's, the County built a road up as far as the Narrows [which are just north of the property] and started a tunnel. Unfortunately for the road, one of our four or five hundred-year floods came along and wiped out the road in large part. Years later, the County formally abandoned the road. Now for the interesting part. We are left with 50 acres surrounding the Bridge to Nowhere, called by some authors one of the prettiest areas on the East Fork. I am most interested in either using the property or disposing of it by sale or trade. It is presently rented both for recreational gold mining and to Bungee America, who conducts jumps from the Bridge. This beautiful parcel needs to stay in private hands.
There is another parcel, which may be even more interesting. 32 acres really isolated up on the Shoulder of Sheep Mountain, 2-3 miles from the Bridge. This is one of the last of the Bighorn Sheep Breeding areas. Access guaranteed by the Wilderness Act, but roads are a scarcity up there. The interesting part is that it guarantees access to the Wilderness Area, regardless of future USFS policies.
If anyone is interested in either of these two properties, please email Frank Saunders.

Cu tried to get someone to go with him, and was unable to. For all we know, he got a friend to go with him after the fact. No, he doesn't lack common sense, he's just 'jump the gun'-y. He's very worried that another clue will be stolen. I have total faith in him, but he will be getting an earfull if I find out he did go alone. And yes, as some has said, he's done this before. Not only that, but he's been out at East Fork several times, a few even this week. So yea, I am relying on him.
What I am tired of is everyone trying to cast doubt on the guy that goes for a 8 hour hike for people he's never even met online. There are only a handful of people in the area that are willing to do these things, and every single one of them should be praised to high heaven for their efforts, not made fun of constantly.

found a link that describes the trails around the bridge for those of us who aren't familiar with the area. It mentions private property on there too.

I totally ENVY Cu. I would love to be the one out there. I hope he finds something.

I think we all agree that the place is not dangerous, it's people that worries most of us.
But I doubt Frank is going to stalk Cu or something.

Am I correct in thinking Cu's last post was almost 9 hours ago? I went through the pages again and I think that was the last one. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm just trying to keep track.
