I have not jogged in a couple of weeks. I have been hiking on the weekends and will be backpacking again this weekend. I thought i would go for a jog tonight to get a little more exercise. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I beat my old time by about 20 seconds. It […]

Jacob and I set out on an adventure with another troop in the area that is going to Philmont Scout Ranch the same week as we are. It was their maiden voyage of sorts, the first training backpacking trip for the group. We meet at the Forsee Creek Trail head in the where we began […] Today was a training hike to prepare the scouts for a Trek at Philmont Scout Ranch this summer. The hikers were Emily and Walter along with Scouts Trevor and Brandon. The plan was to take the Two Trees Trail up to the road and follow that to Box Springs Lookout. From there we would backtrack […] I decided to step it up and start running. I am not getting enough exercise by just walking 4 to 5 miles a couple of times a week. When I go hiking up a steep grade I still get a little winded, especially when chasing children. Monday night Eric and I ran and walked a […] I invited Emily to go on a short hike today with Jacob and me up the Two Trees Trail in the Box Springs Mountain Park. We made out way to the trail head parking and Emily started up her phone application to track the exercise. She asked if we were ready and I said yes. […] I really did not know how to title this one. Perhaps “Double Sunset” would have worked. The first possible sunset could be considered when opossum number two left this earthly existence early this morning. It has only been a couple of weeks from the time opossum number one was found dead on the concrete in […] This evening it started to cool do so I felt like going out for a walk. I did not intend to walk very far, but I was enjoying the light breeze of the evening. I meandered us Mt. Rubidoux as the sun was getting low in the western sky. I was a little intrigued that […] Today we went on a hike in preparation for our Philmont Trek this summer. As with any hike one need to plan and prepare. Part of the planning is to see if there are any geocaches available on the hike. We met at 7:00 in the neighborhood near the base of Sugarloaf Mountain in Riverside. […] Today I had to go in to LA for a meeting so I decided to take the train. It was an interesting adventure. The first stop was the ticket machine. There was no real sign on how to get started, just some buttons. I had to ask the person next to me what to do. […] Tonight as I was wrapping things up at work Scott called and used his famous line, “Where are you at?” Of course I was at work. His next line surprised me, “Do you want to go sailing?” It was time to go home so I made my way home to get Scott to go sailing. […] Almost every Saturday morning I have been walking up Mt Rubidoux. Sometimes up the road and sometimes up one of the trails. Today was a fairly cool day with a chance of rain. Overall, it was a great day for a walk. A views west from the top of Mt Rubidoux […] It seems that whenever I take the puppies for a walk, they walk me. Perhaps it is more correct to say that they drag me. Nonetheless, we both get some exercise. Today Jacob and I met with the Mt. Rubidoux District VOA to hike Mt. Rubidoux and listen to a presentation on Leave No Trace (LNT). The VOA or Venturing Officer’s Association is for the local Riverside area. Jacob and I enjoyed the hike. Jacob took my phone and too a lot of pictures for the […] Today my little girl was married. It is a day that you think about now and then as you see your daughter grow taller and older. Twenty one years ago, it seemed like this day was forever away. Today it is here and watching a little girl eat her First Birthday banana cream pie seems […] After taking a stroll on the boardwalk of Venice Beach I had to ask myself, is the Doctor really in or is he out? There were several places that advertised that the doctor is in and willing to write prescriptions. In fact they say, “‘Weed’ love to help you!” You can even join a club, […] |
