We’ve enjoyed two solid days of play this weekend. Doesn’t happen very often but it sure felt good to get outside! Video - Sugarloaf Open Space, Walnut Creek, CA Photo - Marin Headlands

Just a guy skipping rocks like a boss (:

An overnight in the #DesolationWilderness earlier this week was 👌 We took Miles to Twin Lakes, a place special to Laurie as this is where she first went backpacking throughout her childhood. Sharing these places of significance with Miles is very rewarding. And seeing him enjoy himself in the mountains is too.

Enjoying fall in Colorado. A short fall though as snow is in the forecast the next two days. Miles particularly enjoyed the wind dancing through the trees.

Miles provides ample opportunity to slow down and experience the moment. He doesn't do well when we rush. When we visited the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest we took him on a 4.5 mile self guided tour. We had fun stopping at each post and reading the description of the area's significance. One of those areas described how every Bristlecone Pine is home to both sexes of cones. One releases yellow dust in the summer pollinating the other. We helped the process along on one of the trees. #AncientBristleconePineForest

When we hiked the PCT in 2016 there were many places we wanted to revisit. This nondescript dirt road crossing near mile 1309 is one we remembered well. A beautiful sunset, views of Lassen Peak to the north and wildlife roaming about, what's not to like? We hadn't planned on going here when we planned our road trip but decided to for a shorter driving day. And we are glad we did. Mules Ears were in full bloom along with many other wildflowers, there were no clouds in the deep blue sky and the temperature was perfect. And.. we say 18 thru hikers. We gave them all our fruit and chatted them up about their time on trail. I really love this spot and would go back there again. Relatively easy to get to and pretty quiet. Oh, and the hiking around there isn't too shabby either 😎
