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 […] For the past couple of days I have been wearing clothing that looks like it is from the 1800 for a pioneer trek reenactment. Tomorrow the trek finishes. Tonight I picked up Jacob for a visit. They had a square dance caller and Jacob did a lot of dancing which surprised me. As for […] I go hiking on a regular basis. My neighbor always teases me about getting eaten by a bear. I am not worried about the bears in Southern California. Ran into a bear while backpacking in New Mexico this summer without any problems as well. A new study that shows that “it really isn’t about the […] I have had hiking to the top of Mt. San Jacinto on my list of things to do for 2011. The idea was to get to the three tallest peaks, which are in three different mountain ranges in the year of my 50th birthday. Mt. San Jacinto was the last. Yesterday I committed myself to […] Today Jacob and I went on a hike to the top of Mt. San Antonio, also known as Mt. Baldy with a group of eight others. It was the same hike I did on October 1st (Link Here) . Today was a little different as there was snow at the trailhead in the shade. After […] Tonight was the Festival of Lights presented by the Mission Inn. There are lots of lights and fireworks. This year there was also a surprise. After dinner, Jacob and I ran downtown to see the fireworks. It was not like “running” to the store. We literally ran. Nothing like a little after dinner exercise. As […] Last night it got down to 40 degrees. Now that is not cold if you are from a colder climate, however, for some of the thin blooded types around here, it was too cold to live, or at least that is what they tried to tell me. When we reached the trail head of the […] It was a beautiful Saturday morning here in Southern California. The air outside was in the mid 50’s first thing in the morning, but the high of the day was going to be in the 80’s. The sky was clear and it would be a great day to hike. Emily and I started at the […] |
