Table Mountain Hike
Trip Date: March 7, 2025
I love Craig’s List and I love the “Free Stuff” most. I have to agree it is one of my hobbies and so when I saw an ad for free red lava rock in Oroville, I thought why not. If it worked, I would get free red lava rock that I needed to finish the…
Oregon Coast 4
Creek/River, Forest, Lake/Reservoir, Mountains, National Forest land, National Monument, National Park, Ocean, River, Wildlife
Trip Date: September 20, 2021
I believe this was our 4th trip up the Oregon Coast in 4 successive years (except last year because we went to Death Valley with Haley and Brett to look at a possible wedding venue), if you count the first trip, which was technically to Jedediah Smith State Park, but we did cross the border…
Jenner for Kristen’s Birthday
Trip Date: June 26, 2020

Trip Date: July 10, 2019
We had decided to get up to the high elevations and camp out of the canoes as a practice run for a possible future boat camp trip to Lake Ahjumawi Lava Springs State Park. Bob, Mike, Steve, and I headed up to Lower Sunset Lake, just outside the Mokelumne Wilderness at about 8,000’ elevation. I…
