The first major hike of 2025
The highlight of my hiking year so far! Slot Canyon in Anza Borrego State Park
Torrey Pines, Lake Hodges, Sycamore Canyon, Pamo Valley

In this post I’ll be sharing some photos and videos from hikes/bikes number 27-30 in the 52in25 series. Soon it’ll be too hot to spend much time at some of these places, so I’m packing them in now while I can. Our inland San Diego temperatures can easily reach over 100F during the summer months,…
I hit the half way mark already! #52in25

It was May 1st a couple of days ago, and that marked hike/bike 26 out of 52 in my #52in25 series! I’m making great progress, and as it stands should be well on target before the end of the year. I have been quiet on here lately. I’ve been dealing with some personal issues, which…
Six and a half mile hike to Eagle Rock (PCT) wearing the wrong insoles!

I got in two amazing hikes during the past weekend. On Saturday I managed to get the whole family out to the waterfall at Penasquitos Canyon. We clocked up about 8 miles that day, with the highlight being the waterfall (albeit small) at the turning point. We don’t get much rain here in San Diego, so…

I forgot to bring my knee brace – ouch!!

I had a really nice ~2.5 mile hike today in Poway. I started from Silverset park, and hiked to the top of Twin Peaks, a local hiking trail that’s steep and rocky, and has amazing views of much of San Diego from the top. It was lucky number 13 in the 52in25 series. I’ll share…
Sycamore Canyon Old Farm Equipment

I took a ride to Sycamore Canyon recently and my focus was to capture photos of all the old farm equipment that is scattered throughout the trail area. I know this area used to be a working farm in times past, but it’s still so cool to see that this stuff has been kept here,…
