Since we volunteer at the Mt. Baldy Visitors center we like to get out and
explore the area so when asked questions we can answer them. A few
months back someone had stopped in and while talking mentioned they had just
been to Jacob's grave. Since we had never heard of it we set out to find it.
There are many stories about the grave and most state for different reasons
that the grave was moved and that is why it is haunted. |

Jacob was a miner searching for gold in the San Antonio canyon and met
his untimely death. I hope those who come to this area and tag and litter it
are haunted by Jacob. |

It was also a fun day for driving the Miata so I took a few pictures. We
also stopped to visit the Mt. Baldy Trout ponds. It is about 1/4 mile from
the visitors center. The pools are very heavily stocked and within seconds
of dropping your line in you will have a fish taking your bait. I watched
a young girl that didn't realize how to set the hook try many times to
catch a fish. Every time she dropped her line in the fish would clean
her hook of the bait. A lot of fun for the youngsters and they also clean and
fillet your fish for you and pack it in ice. |
