Need a challenging new neighborhood route in L.A.? Head to Silver Lake for this tough 16-mile walking/running route that includes 40 historic staircases. And it counts only if you go
up the stairs. Cameron Kruse, 31, created the route (and the rules) because he was looking for close-to-home adventures to get him through the pandemic.
His quests usually take him to rock faces to climb, or the Himalayas, where he photographs and works on digital storytelling, something he calls “scrollytelling.” “My day job is a creative technologist. I figure out ways to tell stories with technology, but I moonlight as a National Geographic explorer,” the rock climber and runner said.
Ben Kuo s hobby of using satellite images to find out where photos and films were shot helped rescuers find a lost hiker in California s Angeles National Forest.
The hiker, Rene Compean, went out for what he thought would be a two-hour walk in an area he d hiked in many times but ended up getting lost. He spent the night in the wilderness, completely unprepared. He climbed to a point where he got a faint cell signal and snapped a photo he sent to a friend, asking for help.
The friend brought it to the police and the Los Angeles County Sheriff s Department tweeted it out. Kuo saw it on Twitter and was able to match it with satellite photos of the area to pinpoint the hiker s location so rescuers could find him, The Washington Post first reported.
