OfflineA Little About Me
There is nothing like the sights, sounds and smells of the mountains. Being up there keeps you honest as to who you are. Weathering the COVID-19 era, but deflated at the extent of forest acreage lost to fires in California in 2020. Feb. 2023: storms are dumping snow down to 1500' in southern California. Great for mountain lovers!
