This past weekend we camped in Angeles National Forest east of Azusa in Los Angeles. I was walking around taking pictures when I spot graffiti- all over the place! It was announced that popular hiking spots of Joshua Tree are being closed for graffiti as well. Rangers said they’ve found graffiti spray painted on 17 sites, including the famous rock formations and historic Native American sites, at the Southern California park’s Rattlesnake Canyon.

Heaton Flats

The next day we panned for gold, took some pictures, and headed back home. It was the perfect little trip to escape for one day 🙂 Continue reading →

Camping E Card

My Essentials

Today we decided to go camping this weekend- yay! The bad thing?
