Rich on the Road

More adventures in hiking on Thursday.  Once again, the trail system fooled us.  This time we spent 30 minutes trekking down an increasingly boulder strewn path that finally ended in a dead end of rocks and tangled undergrowth.  We were trying to get to Tenaja Falls, what the trail map claimed was a fairly easy .7 mile hike.  The only problem was that we didn't realize you had to ford a small stream to get to the actual path.  After re-tracing our steps we finally figured it out.  Got a great picture of the ladies carrying the girls across the little stream -

The rest of the hike was mostly straight and straight up through some beautiful Southern California high country.  The falls itself was almost dry.  Just a trickle could be seen.  But, clearly when it's running it would be impressive.

Let me share a little bit about Bob & Darla and the girls and how much they mean to us.  They are a Brother and Sisters in Christ -- as well as relatives.  Our times together are joyous -- though we share our difficult times as well and in those we comfort each other.  We've traveled together a lot.  Even went on a mission trip as a group to Mexico once -- building a house for a poor family through Amor Ministries.  Our time together is always filled with fellowship.  And, with Jesus Christ.  The Nugents have been a tremendous blessing to us.  As, I trust, we have been to them.

We're heading home later today.  Back to work tomorrow.  We're dreading the heat and humidity a little (it's too hot too soon!) but it's always good to get home. 

I will see you on TV Saturday.  Or, more correctly, I hope you will drop by to see me.
