    2023 was a Strange Year…And I Don’t Know Why

    January 6, 2024 / 0 Comments

    This year was just strange and got away from me. In many ways, I feel like I didn't do much. If you look at my Bucket List and my goals I didn't meet many of them. At the same time though, as you'll see (if you choose to keep reading this ramble), I actually did do a lot. The first half of the year was filled with tons of waterfall hikes and the second half was packed with concerts (something I haven't done in years).

    Visiting the Oldest Operating Bob’s Big Boy

    September 10, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Bob's Big Boy - Burbank, opened its doors in 1949, but the Bob's Big Boy franchise began over a decade earlier in 1936. In 1936, Bob's Big Boy creator, Bob Wian, sold his car for $300 and bought a ten-stool lunch stand called "The Pantry" which he then changed to "Bob's Pantry." This would be the first of what would eventually become Bob's Big Boy.

    Millard Canyon Falls: The Perfect Short Waterfall Hike In LA

    April 24, 2023 / 0 Comments

    A short, gorgeous, and for the most part family-friendly, after only a few minutes into our hike I knew Millard Canyon Falls was going to be on my list of favorite waterfall hikes in SoCal! Located near Altadena, CA, according to AllTrails, Millard Canyon Falls is 1.2 miles round trip with only a 256-foot elevation gain. When my husband and I did the hike we tracked 1.58 miles with a 371-foot elevation gain. We spent only 90 minutes on the trail with about an hour and 15 minutes of that moving.

    Beautiful Waterfall Hike in Lytle Creek

    March 23, 2023 / 0 Comments

    In case you missed it, a few weeks ago California was hit with some unusual snow. The mountain communities here in SoCal were pummeled with unusually high snowfall. It was so cold and so wet here where I live that even the communities down here in the Valley saw snow. Real snow. Not just hail or flurries that melted once they hit the ground. Actual snow. (Not enough to do anything with, but having grown up in this area, it was a big deal.)

    Hiking The Slot in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park

    February 14, 2023 / 0 Comments

    This past weekend, my husband and I finally got around to hauling our butts nearly three hours down to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to hike one of the best-known slot canyons in Southern California, The Slot. The Slot is a slot canyon hike (obviously) located in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, down in San Diego county. The trail is a 2.3-mile loop and is rated moderate according to AllTrails.

    Winter Camping In Joshua Tree & The Three Ps

    February 4, 2023 / 1 Comment

    We knew camping in Joshua Tree in December was a potentially poor choice. We knew it would be really cold, but it actually ended up being so much more than we ever could have imagined. We made it and it was an adventure, but we were in no way prepared for what we faced.

    First Hike Of 2023 – Hiking In The Snow

    January 13, 2023 / 0 Comments

    This past weekend I went on my first hike of 2023 and boy did it kick my butt! Not only was it my first hike of 2023, but it was also one of my first real hikes in months (with the exception of Joshua Tree, last month but that was a fairly level hike), a hike in pretty deep snow (a first), and at a pretty high elevation (we ended at around 8000 feet and climbed just over 1000 feet). We weren't prepared for this hike, but I am so happy we did it.
