Winter Sports In
Mountain Camp
Is Plan of L. A,

Every year, those who would go
camping ara confronted with little
problem: "What time of year is
best suited for an eXpeuIIluA TO
the wilds?' The answers to this
question are as many and as varied
as the people wEo answer it.
TO @. X. Parker, modern exponent
of THE ancient art of "sleeping
out, = the early spring and late fall
are the most enjoyable seasons of
the year to spend under the stars.
At this time the air is brisk and
cool, giving an invigOrating spiel
ness to existence in the mountains
and no mosquitoes or other insect
pests are about.
Big Pines, the new l.. A. county
park, is an easily reached haven
for the weary, not well known
among lovers of the outdoors. The
season Of 1928 has really been the
first in which the public might en-
JOY combination of good roads
and perfect camping facilities in
this region.
Mr.. Parker reported to William
Fl. Lewis local Essex dealer, that
&, Ell better tacihties are being ar
ranged to take care of the rush of
campers next year. A lake, to
cover % or 30 acres is planned,
and the superintendent, +. L. Wad-
sworth, hopes to have it completed
in time for ice skating and other
winter sports, this fall.
There are - miles of snow road
to be kept open, but it is expected
that the caterpillar tractors now
used for grading the roads will be
able to cope with the drifts suf-
ficientlv for ears to pass over them
all winter. If this is possible there
will be no more perfect winter
sport resort in Southern California
than that provided by the County
of Los Angeles for the general pub
lie.
"During the time we were en-
camped at Big Pines there were
several Essex cars in addition to
our sedan which made the Is miles
of per cent grade without boil
ing" said Mr.. Parker, "This is
an accomplishment to be proud of,
as the average car needs full sup
ply of water when making this
trip. =
