justwandering

Well, yesterday we finally got out of the city and went hiking up Corte Madera mountain. Sixstring's sister came along too. It was so wonderful to be out in the fresh air again enjoying the sunshine.

snow hiking in the Lagunas

Went up to the Lagunas a couple weeks ago to do some snow hiking. But that's not the only thing fresh snow is good for ;-)

I just uploaded Photoshop on the laptop, so I finally have access to my pictures again. I was feeling deprived. ;-) One of my cameras completely froze up a few weeks ago; I did get the picture card out of it though, so that's okay. It was on its last legs anyway. I was amazed how much abuse that little camera survived. I'm thinking seriously about buying another camera. I like my Coolpix when I'm willing to play with the adjustments and really spend time composing a shot, but when I'm trying to squeeze through bushes and climbing around on rocks, its way to bulky to carry along. I like the look of the Canon Powershot 450. The only problem is, it doesn't sound like the most bombproof camera when it comes to being dropped. And you know me...

I have to get to school now, but I'll stick some pics of my house and the last few adventures I've had on here later. :-)

El Cajon Mountain

Yesterday Sixstrings and I finally hiked El Cajon Mountain. Woohoo! It was one awesome hike. Especially with two crazyies like us. ;)

we started out by freaking out cows and a dog while wandering the backroads, trying to find a way up.

 

when we finally found the trailhead, it turned out that the trail was 'closed' for maitenence. But with the help of a freindly park ranger, we finally got on the trail

it was a tough hike, but fortunately we remembered where we had parked the car

but how did it get up there in the first place??

a perfectly clear San Diego day made the view incredible

but all good things must come to an end, and we all must return from whence we came

some random pics

taken around February this year. Why I post them now...go figure

Some Anza Borrego pics

We visited Anza Borrego a couple times in November. Gotta love the slot canyons! Yesss

I'm restarting this space so I have a nice place to post my pictures. We'll see how long this lasts ;-)
