An advantage to working in the surf industry is all the cool people you meet- and even better- all the cool shops they love! Today I was introduced to Seed People’s Market in Costa Mesa. My friend described it as a “A hip REI”. Not saying REI isn’t hip, Continue reading

I talk about this tent all the time and now I can actually show you! REI’s Half Dome 2 tent is such an easy set up- even a girl can do it! 😉
I said in one review that this tent take 2 minutes to set up. Well, that’s with 2 people… it took me 5 minutes but that’s pretty good! Take a look!
Happy Camping!

While hiking Stonewall Peak at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park this weekend, we had a run in with about 13 deer! I was rounding a bend by myself when I saw about 13 of them about 30 feet away! It startled me at first but then I was blown away at how beautiful and big they are! The video is shakey at first but then gets better! I didn’t catch all of them on film.
Happy Animal Spotting!

This last camping trip we had was probably the most fun so far! We got up to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park in eastern San Diego and it gorgeous! Patches of snow were everywhere- my first time camping with snow- and we conquered Stonewall Peak trail! Once you reach the top, you can see a 360 degree panoramic view of 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? Continue reading

I was one happy girl when I opened my Christmas gift from my boyfriend! I really wanted a fun camping hat so this cute, super warm hat with the ear flaps is perfect! He also got me a new self-inflatable sleeping pad from REI. The REI Trekker 1.75 “Women’s” pad is going to be awesome for hard ground! I already have one from Coleman but it leaks out almost all the air by morning. Lastly, I got a stainless Continue reading

I LOVE those E-Cards! They speak the truth! But that’s not what I think of camping! Just wanted to share some camping humor! Its getting COLD outside- even for San Diego! Hopefully, within the next 2 weeks I will have gone on another camping adventure and will be sharing my pictures with you! Anyone heading out soon for a camping trip??

We had never been to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park until this weekend. I can say we are definitely coming back! It was beautiful!! Our campsite was at the top of a hill so we had an amazing view of the valley. There are several trails to go hiking but due to a recent knee surgery, it seemed I was extremely limited! However, I am always up for a challenge and accompanied my friends on an unintended hike where we Continue reading
