Reading of Mount Baldy, the highest point in the San Gabriel Mountain range near Los Angeles, I thought of my own mount baldy and the freshly shaven head. Is this not the real mountain: the shaved head, the streamlined cone, the smooth aerodynamic cueball? At any rate, I came across this wonderful mountain in the book Wild LA which is similar in tone and theme to Richard Sutcliffe's Wildlife Around Glasgow or Susan Hothersall's equally excellent Archaeology Around Glasgow. It got me thinking of the movies that are set in and around Los Angeles County and how I have never heard or seen any reference to Mount Baldy which is quite amazing really seen as how close it is to downtown LA (about 45 miles).
