nacimiento

Last week I had the generous opportunity to head up for some time on Lake Nacimiento. We had an excellent time and the only thing that could have improved it, would have been if Davey hadn't eaten all the food. But really, it was an excellent trip.

gene marshal trail

A little while back, our troop took an extended trip from the Cuyama Valley to Bear Trap, then Bear Trap through Haddock, 3 Mile, and Pine Mountain Lodge to Piedra Blanca. The final day we made a short hike out to the cars and headed home. The trip was incredible, at times it felt like we were hiking on the east coast and the lower Sierras. I also finally hiked my 1,000th mile with Troop 26.

Please comment, share, and enjoy!
