Fall Colors – Ontario Peak

I have been a bit behind on both completing the six pack of peaks and logging my hikes here.  Today I finally had an opportunity to finish the hike I intended to do last week.  I was planning on Hiking Ontario Peak and then shooting over to Cucamonga Peak but met up with some newbies who asked for me to take them up to Cucamonga.  I ended up only doing Cucamonga last week but finished Ontario today.  Since last week I started to see the leaves turning yellow and this week they were even more apparent.  I took a few pictures of the leaves and fall colors on my way up.  Today was a bit cloudy and colder.  You can definitely tell the Fall Season is here.  I started late at about 1:34 pm and finished at about 6:58 pm or about 5 hours and 24 minutes including breaks and time spent at the summit taking pictures.  I was the last one on the summit but jogged down and passed about 3 other small groups going down from other areas.  Overall Ontario Peak has great views but some were not available today due to the cloud cover and rolling fog.  Anyways, looking forward to seeing everyone next Sunday at the SoCal Six-Pack of Peaks Finisher Party.  I will be volunteering at a table if you’d like to ask about my trip to Kilimanjaro or any other hike.  See you all soon!

Spartan Family

Spartan Sprint Race – Tejon Ranch – 10-20-2018

A family that races together stays together… or so it’s been said! First time running a race with Ariel (daughter) and first obstacle course race with Liz… Definitely hoping this tradition continues!

So proud of Ariel and Liz on their first Spartan Race and how well they did… Both finished 5 miles and obstacles in exactly 2 hours.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

“Nature’s first green is gold,

Her hardest hue to hold.

Her early leaf’s a flower;

But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can stay.”

~ Robert Frost

Believe

“Only if one believes in something can one can actually achieve.” ~ Tony Ramos

Believe – to have confidence in the truth, the existence, or the reliability of something, although without absolute proof that one is right in doing so.

It’s Officially Autumn

Happy Autumn 🍂 or Fall 🍁 .

Autumn, also known as fall in North American English, is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September (Northern Hemisphere), when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools down considerably. One of its main features is the shedding of leaves from deciduous trees. (Wikipedia)
