Saddleback Mountain

Last week we started up the Spring Hollow train. Although we remembered the camera, we forgot to check the batteries.  So still no pictures. Maybe next time. 


Today GR and his brother hiked to the top of Saddleback Mountain. This is a VERY strenuous hike and I was happy he chose to do it without me.  Check out the view:

The First

GR and I have hopes of many outdoor adventures this summer and what better way to share them than with a blog.  I'm not a creative person and I have doubts that anyone but myself will read this but if nothing else, it should be a great learning experience.

Our first hike was to the Wind-Caves. Did we bring a camera? Of course not. I'm not even sure where it is. So this blog isn't starting off so well.

The hike was tough and we didn't think about when it would get dark. So a lot of the downward trek was in the dark.  Thankfully there was a full moon and a steady hand from GR.

So one hike down, hundreds to go.
