I didn’t even listen to some of my snow camping quick tips (shame on me) but I learned a whole lot more on how to prepare for real snow camping!

Fishing with the guys

This past weekend was an adventure but not camping or hiking or anything to do with the mountains- it was quite the opposite! One of our friends hosted a deep sea fishing trip on the Chubasco II out in the deep Pacific Ocean! It couldn’t have been more of a gorgeous day and I caught a few fish! Continue reading →

This weekend we did an impromptu camping trip to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park at Paso Picacho. San Diego’s mountains were hit with a good amount of snow last week so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity! Unfortunately, we under-estimated how much snow might be there! It’s 5,000 feet elevation so you can only imagine!
