Lone Pine Canyon name ?

[Wrightwood]

From John Robinson's book "The San Gabriels: The Mountain Country from Soledad Canyon to Lytle Creek" he writes:

"In 1863 Almon Clyde crossed the ridge from Lytle Creek and filed a claim on the old Swarthout homestead in Lone Pine Canyon. Clyde built a ranch house next to a lone pine tree in mid-canyon (from whence the name Lone Pine Canyon is derived) and planted apple trees."

Very romantic stuff.  I can actually believe this.

Thanks.

Ever hear of Wyatt Earp?! The ranch at Lost Lake is theirs, and as the story goes, thet had a stright shot going SE across the desert,a 3 day ride, to AZ, Mexico, and NM, the ranch is still there,the barn sinking,
