I have a post relating our wonderful weekend spent at San Onofre with my girlfriends, but I failed to talk about the actual campsite. San Onofre State Beach is located in San Clemente in sunny Southern California north of San Diego. While the trip was fun, I am hesitant to go back for a few reasons. You MUST book reservations way a head of time (like months in advance) because it fills up quick. Now, this campground is located a hop, skip, and jump away from the beach so that explains why it books up fast but again, let me tell you why I wasn’t too much of a fan. Continue reading

When I first started camping, it was pretty costly. We had to buy the tent, sleeping bag, stove, backpack, and the list goes on and on. Its safe to say we wanted to get products at a cheap price. We needed a sleeping pad and the cheapest one we found was a Coleman sleeping pad for $30 at Walmart. They claim its self-inflating and holds up al night but you have to blow it up yourself multiple times during the night. You don’t get a good night sleep while using this pad- and a good night’s sleep is super important to me! Continue reading

Please check out my friend’s new blog! She was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease and wanted to share her story!
Recently i have been creeping on a lot of random Instagram profile’s. Searching colon/hospital/sick people related hashtags and such. I decided to take my creepiness a bit further, looking through different blogs and websites. Seeing everyone’s photos, comments, and postings about what they have gone through or are currently going through really got me somewhat excited. Not in a weird sadistic way, but in a way that now, physically, i can see i’m not alone. Everyone was trying to live their life, hangout with friends, be with their family and basically be as close to happy as possible.
Granted, no two stories are the same, i have noticed people with UC or Crohn’s pretty much know how each other feels. It’s almost like when a cop drives by another cop and they give one another a nice little wave or nod. Side note: i sometimes do that to other Honda’s…

Heaton Flats was the campsite that turned me into the camper I am. I went in November 2011. The weather was freezing! I knew nothing about camping! But I fell in love with the tall trees, the stream filled with gold prospectors, and the hike to get to the spot. Continue reading

I love hiking! Its so nice to get outside, away from the iPhone, TV, and all the other distractions in the world and appreciate Mother Nature! But sometimes I keep my head down when I’m hiking because I don’t want to trip or I want to keep up a certain pace, and it makes me miss out on the beautiful scenery around! Next you are out in the great outdoors and you catch yourself starring at the ground, just remember Continue reading

I know I’m a few days late with this issue but by no means should this be ignored! On October 1, 2013, the government shutdown 401 National Parks across our country. All park grounds, visitor centers, hotels, campgrounds, and park roads – except for thru ways – are closed. All programs are canceled and permits issued for special events on park grounds nationwide are rescinded. Hikers and campers were given 2 days to vacate the premises- by October 3. With our nation entering fall, this is one of the busiest times of the year for our nation’s parks. The National Park System Continue reading
