Today I hiked up the Two Trees trail to the road and then on to the Spring Trail. I took a picture showing Cucamonga Peak in the distance. From there it was back on the road and over to the Edison Trail. I then got to the Two Trees trail where I headed back to […]

Last night there was an earthquake about 15 miles away from home. The temperature has been in the 100’s the past few days. Today it is forecast at 107 degrees. Earthquakes and high temperatures remind me of one summer several years ago when there were several earthquakes and days with high temperatures. I just hope […] We have been eating a lot out of the garden this summer. It has been a good change and I feel better eating more vegetables and less meat. As for tonight, I turned 5 pounds of Roma tomatoes into a wonderful spaghetti sauce. No pictures of the finished product. However, there is a picture of […] Jacob and I went the the Thursday evening sail with the Riverside Community Sailing Program. Eric tagged along because he heard that there was food. Emily wanted to go sailing so she showed up later with Walter, her husband. Scott happened to come along, because there was going to be food. Nonetheless, all four children […] Today was a great day for a hike up Ice House Canyon to the saddle. As for the hike, it is not that far in miles. However, in the 3.6 miles there is an elevation gain of 2,660 feet. The hike is a nice hike as the start of it is next to a stream. […] As the sun started to rise in the east, it was time to get up. In order to get to the top of Mt. San Gorgonio by 10 AM we needed to leave by 6:30 AM. A quick breakfast and we were on our way. Within about a half mile we had a view […] Backpacked in to Fish Creek Saddle this afternoon. Setup camp and headed out on a mile or so hike up to Grinnell Peak at 10,284 feet in elevation. Mt. San Gorgonio, elevation 11,502 is seen towards the south in the picture below. Taking in the beauty while sitting on a rock and eating […] We started out our day heading towards Zion National Park. We decided to ride the shuttle bus from the visitors center up Zion Canyon. Janet had never been to Zion National Park. Our final destination on the bus was Temple of Sinawava where the Riverside Walk trail started. The last time I was on […] In southern Utah for grandpa’s funeral Emily and I went for a walk this evening. We made it from the house partway up Mt. Rubidoux and back home. It was about three miles, a trip that I was told was just a little too far away from a bathroom. Go figure. Then again, I do not have someone hanging out on […] I have been busy gardening and not hiking this spring. Or should I say, only getting in a couple of five mile hikes a week in town up Mt Rubidoux. The mild 500 foot elevation gain is not much. As for some gains in elevation, I took a couple of pictures on April seventh and […] It was a nice Sunday evening and I asked Jacob if he wanted to go for a walk. He said yes, when he finished a level on Roller-coaster Tycoon. Soon enough we were off to the base of Mt. Rubidoux. We got out of the car and walked towards the gate. Jacob put his ear […] I have mowed the back lawn off and on for almost 20 years. I have mowed around in a rectangle shape or diagonally across. I have never used the crop circle approach. It is good to use a different path as not to create tire ruts from repetition. Perhaps on my next day out to […] Tonight Jacob and I walked downtown towards the roar of hundreds of automobiles taking to the street for a Friday evening cruse. It reminded my of when I was younger and we used to drive up and down the same street cruising. The first stop for Jacob was the brand new Hyatt hotel. He had […] The young raccoons have been out in the evening running around. The other night I heard one scurry up a tree. It did not know what to do as i took a couple of photos. Tonight a pair came out of a pipe under the road. I walked up, one took off […] |
