Jacob and I arrived at the Amtrak stop with many other scouts traveling to Philmont. There was a rather large group of us leaving from Riverside. It was three crew in all, 720 Q 1, 2 and 3. Crews 720 Q 1, 2 and 3 headed to Philmont Scout Ranch Jacob and I […] Getting on the train headed for New Mexico. Arrival will be tomorrow afternoon. This weekend Jacob and I went to the top of San Gorgonio Mountain. We started at the Fish Creek trailhead about 6 in the evening. To get to our camping spot for the night, we needed to hike in about 5 miles with an elevation gain of about 1,800 feet. Of course, on our way […] Last night I went out for a run as I still prepare for the trek at Philmont Scout Ranch. Phone did not want to work with the GPS so I pulled the battery and took of running. I made it past the gate to Mt Rubidoux and came to a place to turn around. I […] A few months ago we set out on a hike to Box Springs Lookout which came really close to the “M” above Moreno Valley. However, that day we saw the M. Today, as part of another training hike for Philmont this summer, we went in search of the M. We started at the two trees […] Today I thought it would be a good idea to get some more exercise. My usual direction is Mt. Rubidoux. However, that is not an option as it is closed today so that the fireworks can be set up in an attempt to catch the hill on fire which is a yearly tradition. As for […] As the evening cooled down Jacob and I went down to Lake Evans for a little sailing. Jacob on the dock with boat 1 and boat 8 ready to go The wind was moderate and we sailed around for a hour or so. We even took time to float in the middle of […] Tonight Janet and I went to the Thursday evening barbeque and sail. We had a little to eat and then we came home. I wanted to sail, but I needed to do some exercise. It was off to Mt. Rubidoux running with some walking and jogging along the way. The air was cool and there […] The dog bark in the evening now and then which does not bother us. Occasionally, they get downright noisy and sometimes it is late at night. One of our neighbors said they were going to call us in the middle of the night when the dogs were barking. I let the neighbor know that the […] There is a time when one has to say, “Do I really want more exercise tonight?” Last night I went for a run/walk of about 3 miles. I felt good afterwards even if I got a little winded when I ran. Tonight I determined that I still needed to exercise. Perhaps a little upper body […] This Fathers Day weekend was a little difficult. Two years ago, on the Friday evening before Fathers Day Jacob and I were headed out for a Boy Scout overnight campout at Blue Ridge and then a hike up Mt Baden Powell the next morning. Dad passed away just four days after our trip up to […] This afternoon Jacob and I arrived back in Riverside after an overnight backpacking adventure. The adventure started Crew 6 at the trailhead for the South Fork Trail which leads into the San Gorgonio Wilderness. We started there with a group shot at about 4:30 PM We then headed up the trail in a small […] The weather has been warmer and the sun is out later so there is a plan to sail more often. Sitting in a sail boat in light wind is not a very good cardio exercise so I will have to balance diet, exercise and sailing. Then again, keeping wind in the sail takes thought and […] Today was another training hike for Philmont. Unfortunately, the only young man that could make it was Jacob. Emily was going to go as well, you know, for the exercise. We got a late start and left the house at 6:45 am. We were crunched for time because lunch was going to be at the […] In the continuing quest to become a lighter weight on mother earth and prepare for this summers trek in New Mexico, a few friends and I went on an overnight backpacking trip.
