Lost Horse Mine

I had visited Joshua Tree National Park for my first time three days earlier, but wasn't prepared for a hike of any decent length that day, nor were the three people I was with. But, I wanted to see the Lost Horse Mine when I saw it on the map. So, I came back, this time alone and prepared. This hike was only part of my explorations and sightseeing during those two days I spent in the park. The rest of the photos from those days can be found in the "Travel" section of my web site in this gallery.

A new hike already

That little medical emergency didn't sideline me nearly as long as I thought it would. I was feeling back to 100% by Wednesday, so I decided to head up to Mount Islip, my favorite mountain, on Thursday.

Sidelined again

Looks like it may be a while before I hike again. I had a bit of a medical emergency this week. Well... Two, actually. I posted the details in the forum, which you can read here if you want to.

Cronan Ranch Geocaching

I just added a new gallery of photos from a short hike in Cronan Ranch, a park in Northern California's Gold Country area.

Hiking Partners Welcome

I'm getting a little tired of always hiking alone. If you have Thursdays free (and maybe the occasional Wednesday) and would like to head into the local mountains with me, drop me some email using the links you can find throughout this site.

As you can see from these galleries, I mostly hike in the San Gabriel, San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountains, but do occasionally venture into more distant locales. I generally dayhike, and will make a multi-day backpack adventure out of a trek if the need arises.
