The Forlorn Camper

ByJeff

My WTC group is currently camping in the Sierras just west of Bishop.  I caught a most unfortunate and untimely cold that prevented my going.  I have a brand new sleeping bag I was pumped to try out on this trip too.  It is a Marmot “Never Summer” that I got on super sale from REI for $107!

Instead I have taken up temporary residence on the couch and have come to learn that my favorite food is Ricola. Though I seem to only have claim to two-thirds of the couch now. I recently got up to use the restroom only to find my dog, The Nudge, curled up on the last cushion citing “Squater’s Rights.”

I keep looking at the clock and wondering what the group is doing “right now.”  Right now, they should be on their way back from a short hike to due at camp by 5pm for dinner and happy hour.

I’ve been meaning to write about this for some time.) So, I’m hiking downhill and I hear a tell-tale biker call “on…

Save Trestles…AGAIN!

ByJeff

Thanks for all your help. However, UC Irvine’s Bren Center did NOT play host to the Commerce Department’s public hearing on the 241 Toll Road on July 25th. They feared that the turnout from supporters of San Onofre State Beach and Trestles would overwhelm the facilities at UCI, estimating that over 10,000 of you would…
