In case you’re wondering what I’ve been up to while Phil is hard at work in Marine land, here’s a quick update. Most of my days are spent continuing my job search, but I try to get outside each day to take advantage of this glorious weather. So far I’ve done some shorter hikes on neighboring trails and two longer trips — the first out in the desert at Anza-Borrego State Park and the second to Cabrillo National Monument at Point Loma in San Diego.

The view as we begin our hike into Hellhole Canyon at Anza-Borrego State Park. Just some tid-bits for you…this park is huge! It takes up 20% of San Diego county.
