Reflections at Mirror Lake

Reflections at Mirror Lake

The winter here in Portland had been pretty mild for us at this point, mostly cloudy and with the occasional shower but not really too cold. Our days had been consumed with fixing up our friend’s house where we’re living, applying and interviewing for jobs, […]

Home for the Holidays

A Case for Group Hikes

A Case for Group Hikes

If you’re anything like me, then the thought of attending group hikes is a thing of nightmares. Lots of people, having to worry about keeping up, being on a schedule rather than taking your time or leaving whenever you want… This just did not sound […]

Taking it Easy at Torrey Pines State Reserve

Taking it Easy at Torrey Pines State Reserve

We decided to take it easy this weekend, just as we did the last, and it went about just as well. Summer had definitely hit San Diego with full force, and we were both drained from the heat. Instead of going for a hike in […]

Overcoming my Doubts at Garnet Peak

Overcoming my Doubts at Garnet Peak

This weekend marked our first camping trip of the season! It has been years since either of us camped, and we have never gone together. We weren’t sure whether we wanted to find a campground, or if dispersed camping would be a better idea. My vote […]

A Day in Anza-Borrego Desert

A Day in Anza-Borrego Desert

The Trip that Started it All

The Trip that Started it All
