To the left is a photo out the car window one of the times we passed through Cajon Pass. I think we passed through it a total of three times each way, for our ear-popping pleasure.
On the Saturday before we went to San Diego, we took a trip to Lake Arrowhead, which is 19 miles or so as the crow flies and about twice that far driving. Debbie’s parents had a house cabin near there at one point. Picture driving up one of the hills in the Tour de France. I became quite nauseous, but managed to stay just this side of car sick.
Inside are a few pics from that trip.

…contains a lot of black, burnt formerly living things. Some of them may still be alive. Fire can do a number on such terrain. Pinion and sage burn rapidly and hotly.
But some of the flora of the chaparral biome, such as lodgepole pines and manzanita require fire to reproduce.
Thank you. Speaking strictly for myself: after a long, full-moonish night at work (mucho drama, including a possible lawsuit after a poor woman broke her leg in our parking lot), it is SO nice to see gorgeous vistas and relax a bit.
I am a political junkie…but I also require time away from all that. Thank you so much.
I love the mountains, and over the past year the ones in Utah specifically have been calling out to me.
But closer to home – Mount(s) Hood and St. Helens tease me daily, by allowing me magnificent views of them from here in Portland as I ride the buses and trains. They think they’re safe, since I don’t have a car and all to get out there and meet their challenges…
But they forget one very important fact. Rentals, heh…
I will meet Mt. Hood very soon, and show it that I mean business…
