Pioneer Days 2003, 8th Annual Hike into History October 4, 2003
Pioneer Days Hike into History a Terrific Success Saturday, Oct. 4th, several dozen people turned out for the 8th Annual Hike Into History, co-sponsored by Arroyo Seco Medical Group and the Community Services Dept. This year's hike went to the ruins of Fern Lodge, which operated in the Santa Anita Canyon until 1960. In addition to the creation of a special post office for a day, offering special Fern Lodge postal seal, with the posted mail carried out of the canyon by mule train, this year several of the owners of the cabins down in the cabin opened their doors, allowing the hikers a special glimpse into what life was like for the cabin owners of the early 20th century. Several of the cabins appeared to be in condition similar to what they must have been in the 1920s, and surprisingly, several of the homes were in fabulous shape, with modern decor, and all the conveniences of home, except of course, minor conveniences such as electricity, running water, central heating systems (other than fireplaces), and easy access. A few of the homes were for sale, for just under $30,000. This hiker was especially pleased to be allowed to go into photographer E.B. Gray's one-time cabin. San Gabriel mountain author and expert John Robinson was along, answering questions, showing old photos and educating the hikers about the "Golden Age of Hiking". The hike, which is the result of the hard work and seemingly endless energy of longtime Sierra Madre physician Dr. William E. White, was approximately four miles, and was a pleasant way to spend a morning. Kudos to Dr. White, John Robinson, the US Postal Service, Kim Kelly and her mules, Community Services, and the cabin owners who allowed us into their homes. Click on a photo below to make it larger.
