Mt Baldy is also known by it's official name of Mt San Antonio, but everyone just calls it Mt Baldy. It was named for the bald (treeless) face of the Baldy Bowl which is visible when you see the mountain from LA. Mt Baldy is located in the new San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, as well as Angeles National Forest.

Below: Two curvy roads the two RV Gypsies had to drive on. One with a steep cliff down the side and NO railing. And one very zig-zaggy through the mountain. They were in their toad, NOT their RV, thank goodness.

laughing clip art dudeThe two RV Gypsies were driving in their car, but they had the GPS from the motorhome guiding them. Since the GPS thought they were in their RV, it started yelling "VIOLATION, VIOLATION" as they approached the tunnel. (The RV would be too tall to go through this tunnel)

When the two RV Gypsies entered the tunnel with their car, the GPS just shut down. Guess it thought they crashed. Either that, or the GPS was mad at the two RV Gypsies!
