It was a beautiful day in the Los Angeles area yesterday, so I decided to go on a hike. I journeyed up Angeles Crest Highway to the Waterman Mountain area.

The day was clear and the views were stupendous.

Of course, I took a few stoves along. :) Indeed, one of my main objectives for this hike was to test the new MSR MicroRocket stove at a relatively high elevation (8038'/2450m).

So, won't you please join me for The New MSR MicroRocket -- Trail Report #2?

UPDATE I've added a "technical appendix" at the end of my blog post. I list the weights of seven different gas stoves as well as the length of their pot supports.

Thanks. I got some really good photos that day. Just God/luck (depending on your perspective I suppose). I'm not much for photography. I just carry a little "point and shoot." That photo and several others came out really well.
