Our editor is pleased to be in San Diego for a rest. Good for her. Then tell us why, when we hiked to the peak of Mount Woodson this morning, she decided to run down the mountain. It was impressive but not restful. When one of the young hikers climbing the great-workout-Woodson shouted, "Stand back: Trail runners coming down," we were rather impressed when we realized she was referring to us. It had a nice ring to it. Of course, our knees and some muscles are not going to be as impressed as we.
Although winter has arrived officially, there are still autumn colors remaining in Poway. We noticed some beautiful scenes while walking half-way round Lake Poway, keeping an eye on the many fisherman sleeping in their boats or standing on the shore drinking beer. Clearly, fishing is a very stimulating hobby, something we think we'll have to try should we make it to eighty.From lake level, the climb becomes sharp until reaching the summit some 2,300 feet up, an 8.5 mile round-trip.
We have hiked this trail in the high 90's but today the weather was 40 degrees lower. We began in light rain and then enjoyed all four seasons within the next three hours. It was a most enjoyable hike with sights that once again differed because of nature's prolific array of scenes. Who cannot but be impressed with the choreography taking place around us?
Cheers,
Jenni and Jeffrey
