LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles FIre Department held a Girls Camp on September 15-16, 2018 at the LAFD Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center in Elysian Park.
Girls age 14-18 were given an opportunity to see what it takes to be a Firefighter for the City of Los Angeles.
With personal guidance from female LAFD Firefighters, this two-day program was filled with team building and camaraderie, excitement and fun, and plenty of opportunity for hands-on activities with actual firefighting tools, equipment and protective gear. Attendees were able to gain confidence and new friendships as they worked in teams while exploring new challenges.

Monday 14 July 2014 - Day 15 - Wild camp below the pass (4,660m / 15,289ft) - Los Cedros / Vientunan pass (4,797m / 15,740ft) - Osoruri pass (4,860m /15,945ft) - Laguna Cullicocha / Hatunqucha / Pirqarumi (4,625 m / 15,174 ft) - Huishcash (4,320m / 14,173ft)
More breathtaking scenery on our final full day in this part of the Cordillera Blanca.
Val and Christine were up and off to climb Nevado Viscacha, which meant Anne, Dave, Mike and I had a leisurely breakfast before setting off on the path to the first of the day's two passes. Clear again, and cold at 4660m / 15290 ft, puddles frozen solid in the shade.
At the Los Cedros pass the Cordillera Negra came back into view, and we waited for Melky and Toffee to catch us up. Then on to the next pass, Osoruri, not far off but with a steeper ascent over bare rock, emerging in to a very barren environment of shattered rocks and boulders. Beautiful but bare, with a glimpse of the snow capped peaks of the Santa Cruz peaks.
After a breather, we continued down to the mirador... where we were rewarded with a stunning view of the Santa Cruz range grouped around the beautiful teal blue expanses of Laguna Cullicocha / Hatunqucha / Pirqarumi and Rahuqucha / Rajucocha, the glacial lakes which Mike and I had spied from yesterday's nevado training vantage point.
Melky spotted Val, Amner and Christine, far off on the left hand side of the lake, still high up on their descent, and we followed their progress round to rendezvous and lunch with us at the mirador. Mission accomplished; Viscacha vanquished.
Lots of photos....
A speedy descent brought us to the natural / Inca-assisted rock dam at the foot of the lake, plus the 20th century hydro electric plant, and we lazed on the warm rocks by the water's edge for more photos - and an inelegant attempt at rock hopping/topping on my part.
Then, downhill all the way (with one stretch of up) to our campsite. To begin with our route clung to the contours of the cliffs, generally following the Inca water channels; on our right, a sheer drop into the deep dark valley where cascading melt water from the lagunas had hewn its route through the rocks. As the rock cut path transformed into a hillside track, we exchanged views behind us of Nevado Viscacha (aka Monte Christina Vegetariana) for vistas of the Cordillera Negra and villages and valleys below. Still steep going in places.
As our tents came into view below, Val pointed out Inca ruins perched on a ridge far away on the other side of the Quebrada Alpamayo / Quebrada de los Cedros. Closer by, Queñua trees with bright red brush-like flowers decorating their branches like tinsel. Beautiful.
Ours were the only tents at Huishcash campsite. At a 'mere' 4,320m / 14,173ft it occupies a lovely location, looking out over the Callejón de Huaylas and with a stream chuckling its was along one side of the site, providing water for cooking and washing.
Sorted out the tent, sorted out tips and thank you postcards, then adjourned to the dining tent for scrabble and dice and to escape the cool breeze.... which meant I also missed the most of the sunset.
After dinner it was time for heart felt, end of trek Thank Yous to Melky and Amner (who we'll see in part 2 of the trip down in Pastoruri), Augustin and Luis - with Christina's LP phrasebook proving invaluable once more.
Outside, a stunning starscape with (for those that knew) Taurus clearly identifiable above the Llama's Eyes.

Camp at 2:30 this morning. The Supermoon lights up the ground below. I've lightened the area with the tent to give you an idea of the scenery, but you could clearly see the tent in the spotlight of the moon. This is a 22 second exposure. We were pitched on a high plateau that is a very steep walk to reach.... a lot of crumbly rock and sliding sand. It's a hike up from a rocky dirt road where you can park your car below. I'm saying all of this because a half hour after I took this photo, I awoke to the sound of footsteps outside of our tent. Upon investigation, there was a man standing silently a few feet from our tent, gazing out at the mountains. He turned out to be harmless, but it was a bit of a jolt from a peaceful night in a campsite that seemed to promise solitude.
On April 1-2, 2017, the Los Angeles Fire Department held it second LAFD Girls Camp to introduce teen girls from across Southern California to the exciting possibilities in the fire and EMS service. Dozens of girls age 14-18 attended the two-day camp experience, where they were mentored by female firefighters from across the country as they were introduced to the fundamentals of firefighting and emergency medical services.

Nanji Camping Ground is part of the Hangang(River) Renaissance Project. A project designed to
increase citizen activity and enjoyment from the Hangang(River) and the areas around it. Complete
with camping spots and areas for barbecue, this is a prime place to visit during Seoul’s summer
season. The area is packed from morning to evening, with some people arriving first thing when the
gates open, whereas others camp on site there, where they will have first access to the best spots
to fire up the grills. barbecue in Korea is known all over the world, and places like Nanji reinforce this
idea, and allows people to have firsthand experience in just how exactly one should enjoy a warm
summer’s weekend, Korean style. If you happened to forget anything, don’t worry, as there is an
onsite convenience store which will sell everything one would need for a great barbecue.
On top of this camping and barbecue areas, there’s also a nearby baseball field, swimming pool
(open July to September), and easy access to the Han River where you can take a walk or even ride
a bike (bike rentals on site as well!).
How to get there:
- Take subway line #6 to World Cup Stadium. Go out exit #1 and walk for 20 mins following
the signposts to Nanji Hangang(River) Park
- A taxi from World Cup Stadium will probably be the best idea, as you will undoubtedly be
lugging lots of supplies for the barbecue. The taxi fare will come out to around 5,000 won.
Park entrance fee:
- 3,750 won
- 2,000 won for children under 7 years old
- Parking fee – 3,000 won for the day
Coyote Canyon is a popular & scenic dirt road N of Borrego Springs, CA. Passenger cars can make it about half way, then it drops in and crosses a deep wash into Sheep Canyon becoming a 4x4 trail.
