We have been moving around the greater San Diego, exploring the challenges and beauty of this region, many places never having been experienced before. As we head further north, thinking what our friend and gentleman, Ron Allegretto from Vancouver said recently about our fear of cold weather, and therefore, in a bold move, we are heading for some snow. Not too much though but we think we have 'matured' and should be able to handle weather in the 30's and 40's. Jenni has her hot water bottle and I, of course, have Jenni, in a manner of writing. We are trying to place an order for a light general snowing, with some heavy falls limited to the peaks only. We would also like the sun to shine brightly in order to warm the air but not too hot that it causes snow to melt. We think that's about it and trust it's not an unreasonable request. After all, one should not be too picky.
The pictures below form a summary of what we've witnessed recently. We selected 1 to 3 pictures from each hike. We will follow with regular blogs of fuller content over the next couple of weeks. Please visit the blog whenever the urge arises or you wish to have a target at which to throw a dart.

A privilege to visit the southern part of Cleveland Forest for two hikes. A staggering array of scenes and scenery. Salton Sea in background.

More desert—the blue mountain is exactly as the eye viewed it, color-wise.
We enjoyed an awful lot of rock climbing over the last few days.
