I shot this photo today in Topanga SP, where the hills look like Ireland right now. That's Santa Monica Bay in the distance. It was a great day to be hiking in the sun, and Mark and I hiked to Santa Ynez Falls.
Hiking Club's February trip was to take the LA Conservancy's tour of the Angelino Heights 1880's Victorian homes. We even got to go inside a few, but photography wasn't allowed inside. This was, like the other tours we've taken, outstanding, and a good way to spend a Saturday.
I've led our hiking club at work since 1997, with members from all over Southern CA. I also volunteer with the Pacific Crest Trail Association as an Area Coordinator in LA County, and since 1998 maintain the local PCT as a member of the Southern California Trail Gorillas.
