Dripping Springs Loop
March 26, 2018There were definitely times where I muttered to myself that I would never do this trail again...
Solstice in the Sierras
We spent June 19th - June 22nd playing in the Sierras once again. It's a bit of a drive, but I frequently need to get my mountain fix in, so I think it's worth it...
Camping in the Eastern Sierra
The little one is nearly 20 months old and I'm feeling some guilt about not doing more outdoor adventure...
San Diego Urban Canyon Explorations
I love to get out and explore the more wild areas surrounding wherever I live, but I sometimes overlook the good stuff that's really close...

Exploring Cuyamaca State Park
I really didn't have a plan today, other than explore some of the maze of trails at Cuyamaca State Park. I ended up creating a nice 12.5 mile loop, that took me up near to the top Cuyamaca Peak.
Hellhole Oasis in Anza Borrego
Sometimes when it's 45 degrees and sprinkling, and you're wearing shorts, it's the universe trying to tell you that you should be somewhere else. Sometimes you're rewarded for listening.
Rain or Shine: Rewards for the Stubborn
January 20, 2010Sometimes you just have to do something, regardless of whether it's a good idea or not. We had a busy holiday season of parties, get-togethers, and family time, which was nice, but didn't leave too much time for adventures...
