Rolling Hills.
Rolling hills. That’s what he told me this hike would be like. I have been really out of shape and knew I couldn’t handle too much. But only having done one other trip earlier this summer, we had the itch to get into the back country. To revive ourselves. We started in the Red Cones area going over Mammoth Pass… Read more →
A three hour tour.
Our first backpacking trip of the season. Catalina Island, Trans-Catalina Trail (TCT). It took 3 hours from door to trailhead to begin our adventure—our escape from the daily grind. 1 hour drive. 1.5 hour ferry ride. 30 minute safari bus. Not too shabby and just what was needed. We sectioned the TCT back in 2010. This past weekend, we went back… Read more →

After a day or two of some serious jet lag, we headed into the city with the Rubano’s to check out Eataly. If you haven’t… Read more →

From what we hear, it is crowded in the summer… Read more →
Thanksgiving in Yosemite
Gratitude.
Thank you to all who came out yesterday and/or donated to help the victims of Sandy. It warmed my heart to see how many people, 3,000 miles away, were effected by this storm. Not because I want people to be sad, but because it reminds me that we are all together and that no one has forgotten their roots. “May… Read more →
