In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
I am the Saturday hike leader and was thrilled to see how many hikers came out to hike today. Where we hiked, Mission Creek Preserve, is about 45 minutes from where I live. You can see that when hiking there you might feel you are in the wilderness miles from home. From where we started hiking, it was only 1.9 miles to access the PCT north of the Whitewater Cyn area.
I’ve uploaded and captioned lots of photos from the hike. They are viewable here.
This is a 2 shot handheld pano of where we hiked. Snowy San Bernadino mountains are the back drop.

11 hikers in all.
That is a beautiful area! You are so lucky to live close. And your friends are lucky to have such an excellent hike leader. No wonder the group is growing. Love, Tailwinds
Thanks Tailwinds.
Do you remember this area of the PCT? It’s about 2 miles + further along the trail after having crossed the Whitewater River and climbed up the switchbacks to a narrow bridge before you drop into the Mission Creek area?
I am having withdrawal from the PCT and can’t believe I haven’t a planned 2010 backpack. Think about whether you want company on your makeup miles, ok?
I love you, Gottago
