When we went camping in the snow, I was afraid we would be sitting in the tent the entire time! Fortunately, we had some beer, cups, and a picnic table! When you are looking for a great game while drinking, we always turn to beer pong! It never fails for an amazing time! And it warmed us up while in Continue reading

This was one of my first posts about preparing for your camping trip. I wanted to re-release it because I feel there is a lot of good stuff in it. I have learned so much more now so I may have to rewrite it but here it is: Preparing for the trip!
So you’ve decided you want to go camping but you don’t know where to begin?!! The most important part about your trip is where you are going and who you are going with! First, take into consideration the weather. If you are going somewhere hot is there shade or a river? If its cold can you build a camp fire? I also like to look at the pattern of weather one week ahead of time. In Southern California you can have it be 90 degrees one day and tomorrow its 60 degrees- I know 60 degrees isn’t cold for any one else in the United States but for Southern California it is!

This past weekend we hiked at Stonewall Peak in east San Diego. There was lots of snow on the ground and I’ve never hiked in the snow. I was walking through the snow and when I stepped down, my ankle scrapped along a rock. I know it doesn’t look like much but it hurt! Continue reading

Picture this: You are out on a beautiful Saturday morning, hiking through the mountains with not a care in a world. All you take along with you is a water bottle and a Cliff bar. The terrain is getting treturous and all of a sudden you slip and fall. You can’t put weight on your leg and there is a deep gash in your calf. What can you do with no leg support and blood loss?

This weekend is going to be a fun one! My friends and I are heading into the mountains in east San Diego. I’ve never been to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park but I’ve heard its beautiful- especially when trying to catch a meteor shower like tonight! However, the only draw back is when I was watching my FOX 5 News this morning and Chrissy Russo told me the mountain areas were going to be cold with a slight chance of Continue reading
