Family Visit in San Diego

I just spent five days in San Diego helping the California wing of the family get over a nasty flu.  My little grandson bounced back quickly, and I had the pleasure of sending a lot of time with him.  Here he is, walking along the broad sidewalk that runs along the beach.

He is on his way to investigate the surroundings, confident that Daddy and Grandpa are backing him up.

First Hike of 2019

April is always a tricky month for a Spring hike.  Mud and ice can surprise you in the shady valleys.

I drove to the top of Lookout Mountain on Saturday and hiked down the trail until it got treacherous with slick ice on the steep parts.  Here is a phone picture of a benign section of the trail.
