I think we should make this our new tradition. It's a great way to start off the new year and shake off some of the gluttony of the holidays.
Here's the start of Two Trees Trail which goes up and over that mountain behind me
The walking route we took via Google Maps. It's all uphill until we got to about where that white rectangle is pointing.
The hills do get green for about 2-3 months of the year.
Looking down on Riverside. Our little house is somewhere in there.
Strolling into Mordor Valley
We met some friendly NEIGHborhood horses
Arrived at our destination about 3 hours after departure.
Now, we have done our practice run for the apocalypse when we need to escape Riverside for the "safety" of Moreno Valley. We had fun, but luckily we hitched a ride home instead of walking back in the dark.
Although we do take quite a few pictures, I'm not a big social media sharer on Facebook or Instagram, but I thought I'd share some of my favorite moments from 2014 here on my blog for my family and close friends to enjoy:
Lanikai Beach on Oahu in January
Camel Racing at Date Festival in Indio, CA in February
Hiking in Santa Ana Mountains west of Lake Elsinore in March
Logan and Haley's wedding in April
We were on TV in April, too!
Big Bear Lake in May
My nephew Sale at our house in August
Converted this old radio to Bluetooth in September
