beaches and mountains

Hello peoples. The original intent of this blog was to inform people of my where-abouts so, here is my tentative schedule for the next month.



I am going to Los Angeles to get Bradley and Sunny today. We are probably going to go to the either the Getty or the Natural History Museum. We are thinking about camping tonight close to the coast but looking through a California Camping guide yesterday, it looks like most places require a reservation and can cost between $20 and $150. So, we might end up back in Loma Linda.


Tomorrow we are going to the beach. Everyone says Laguna is the one to go to so that's where we are going.

Saturday we are going to climb San Gorgonio, getting up early around 4:30am leaving at 5am. We want to be the first in line at the ranger station to get a hiking permit on the Vivian Creek Trail. It's the shortest and steepest. 14 miles round trip and over a mile up, 5500' elevation gain. The other trails are around 20miles round trip but still I think about the same elevation gain.


Sunday we are all heading to LAX. Bradley and Sunny are going to Spain and I am going to Ohio until school starts, 24th. (Sorry Chels. I really would love to climb some 14ers and go rafting. I just can't right now.) While I'm in Ohio I hope to make significant headway on my research proposal. I've been hoping to get that done all summer. Technically, I don't have to have it done until December, but I've been looking at my classes and I'm getting excited about the idea of graduating in the spring.



There you have it. If you happen to be in LA or BG when I am, give me a call. I'll keep updating my blog too.
