"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Vincent GapDid this hike with Chris to celebrate his return from a second tour in Afghanistan. Two and a half days of hiking in the San Gabriel Mountains was fun. A glider flew right above the summit several times and then the pilot waved at us.

From Dawson SaddleDid the 3-Niner romp from Dawson Saddle. Very pleasant hike through forest and the best summit of the day for sure. Also tacked on Mount Lewis for a 4 HPS day.

Fun Winter TripAmazing amount of snow after all the dry, warm weather. We were able to glissade all the way to the parking lot only stopping in a few short sections to to adjust our descent and stay on route. What a great day!

Annual Day Hike to SummitThe church I attend annual Men's Retreat is held in Wrightwood. Every year on the Saturday afternoon, I do a B/P summit day hike this year got 4 of the other guys to join for their first ascent of the peak. Lots of snow! Talked to 8 people doing the PCT (different groups).
