Back in the Wilderness

I have a goal of hiking Mt. San Gorgonio this fall. In order to do so, I have been out hiking on the weekends. One of my favorite places is Aspen Grove trailhead. It is not a nice as it was when the aspen trees were tall before a fire burnt the area to […]

Lost Horse Mine

Sometimes you see a picture in your mind. Then you plan on how to get the picture. It requires about a two-hour drive and a four-mile hike to be in the right place. To be there at the right time, the plan is to get up very early, so you are on site at […]

Color me Pink

I needed a picture with a little color. I rememberd seeing a post from the City of Riverside with a pink wall. I drove around with the grandchild looking for the wall. I searched the feed from the city and found the location. Decided to have some fun as we took some clean paintbrushes […]

Falling Motion

I have been taking a photograpy class and today I was out searching something showing some motion. I decided to head east towards Falls Creek to find some falling motion.

Sweet Pea

My lovely wife wanted me to plant some sweet peas in the backyard this year. They added color to our backyared and I enjoied them. Looking forward to more of them next spring.

Hot

I have not posted in a long time so I thought I would create a simple little post. It is just too hot. We have had several days over 100 degrees.

San Gorgonio with Emily

I go to the top of Mt. San Gorgonio every year. This year Emily decided to join me. She had never been backpacking in her life. The last time I went camping with her as I remember was when see was about 6 years old. That is about 20 years ago.

We got everything […]

Route 395 - A Place to Drive

This weekend was the 2015 Show and Go. Tradition is to walk from home a couple of blocks to to where the Show and Go is every year. We then walk to Carl’s, which is on the route, for lunch. Today the choice was Clark’s Nutrition for and ice cream sandwich. I just thought I […]

Hole in the Head

Today I had the pleasure of taking a trip to the dermatologist to remove a tumor from my nose. It took a couple of attempts to get all of the invading growth. The doctor let me know that they got all of of it. They asked me if I would like to see. I said, […]

Professor Dina "Doc" Stallings

There are some people that are placed on earth that have an impact on others in a positive way. Many years ago, while attending RCC, I happened to take a speech class where I met Dr. Dina Stallings, or “Doc” as she was better known as. She always seemed to stretch us all past what […]

Train and Tree

It is beginning to look like Christmas when the tree is up and the train is out.

Patriotic Video

I came across this video of The Star Spangled Banner by Madison Rising and thought I would share it.

Home

Today Elizabeth and mom came home from the hospital. I bet Elizabeth thought it was nice to be in my own bed.

A Lot and Adventure

When asked, what is going on? I have to respond, “A lot.” There has been work, both at the job and at home. No time for adventure. January and February both slipped away without a good hike. Message to self – “You need to plan an adventure. Life is to short without adventure.”

Happy New Year!

May you all have a great 2012.
