Updates!

It's been a little while since I've last posted, so here is an update... we've been able to do some fun things lately: hiking, wine tasting in Temecula, a Padres game, the zoo. Also, for my birthday (23rd of last month), my parents got me a new camera that I will take on the JMT and it is much, much better than my old one. It is a Panasonic zs7, and it is fantastic. It is compact and light (0.48 lbs.) and therefore I have been taking it with me everywhere I go, which is making it very easy to document all the fun things we get to do.

Hiking out to the three sister's waterfalls

...that turned out beautifully, if I do say so myself...

Another pretty tree

A beautiful sunset in Descanso, where the three sister's falls is located

Padres game! We won!

What's that? You can't see the players on the field? Oh... hold on a second... how's this?

The zoom on this little camera is phenomenal!

Also, a quick something on the JMT. I was reminded by a Mission Trails friend that the first day to reserve permits to summit Half Dome in August is April 1st. I was wrong. The first day to reserve permits to summit Half Dome in August is May 1st, 7am! Be there, or be square!
