Kitchen Creek Falls sits within the typically hot and dry Cleveland National Forest about 50 miles east of San Diego. Seeing the falls flowing requires quite a bit of…

It was still rainy and chilly, but Julie and I were quite relieved as the only snow left was on our car. Both of us were also relieved about finally going to the restroom…

Julie and I remembered this Big Island Trip well because it was one in which bad weather pretty much kept us from accomplishing any of the goals that we had set out to do. What happened was that unprecedented heavy rains (from Climate Change?)…
