THE BEST WAY TO MILLARD CAMPGROUND

Millard Campground is at the foot of Angeles National Forest just north of Altadena. From the 210 Freeway in Pasadena, exit at Lake Avenue and drive north about 3 1/2 miles to Loma Alta Drive. Turn left and drive a mile to Chaney Trail (at the flashing yellow light). Turn right and continue about 1 1/2 miles through the park gates to the campground/trail head parking lot. Follow the fire road about 100 yards to the campground.

CAMPING BASICS

Millard Campground has five primitive "hike-in" sites with picnic tables and fire pits. There is a pit toilet but no running water. Campsites are first-come, first-served and free, but an Adventure Pass ($5 a day) is required for vehicles parked at the lot. Passes are available from REI, Big 5 and Sport Chalet sporting goods stores and nearby Webster's Pharmacy (2450 N. Lake Ave., Altadena). Gates are locked daily on Chaney Trail, prohibiting access between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
