Have you ever been to Torrance Barrens Dark Sky Reserve in Torrance? I headed there on Saturday to check out the trails and go for a short hike. I had been there in the fall with some friends, and another time in the summer, and really enjoyed the area. I stopped to take a photo of rose petals strewn out over some rocks near a campsite. I hoped it was a good experience someone [...]

For the last few years since purchasing my kayak I have been playing the foam blocks game. I put them on the car, then I put my boat on them, then I strap the boat down, reverse, repeat, reverse, repeat. Except for three times now where I've forgotten to take the foam blocks off and they have ended up somewhere else, possibly with someone else. I have no clue why 2 foam blocks cost $40, [...]

One year ago today, I posted my very first blog post ever! I have been camping for 2 decades and recording my experiences in various ways. One day, I thought, hey! why don't I just start a blog and share my experiences with other people. It would be amazing to have my adventures all in one place, not only for myself, but to share with others who were looking for information on the places I [...]

My dad provided me with the perfect word to describe the last few weeks, bittersweet. It seems no matter how good something is, there is almost always something bad that goes along with it. It also depends on if you choose to see it, or just focus on the positive. When things in your life have been really good and people have been great to you, you can't help but get sad when you [...]
