My girlfriend and I attended my childhood friend’s wedding in New York. It was a great ceremony, I’m happy I got to celebrate with him and other childhood friends.
I returned again this year to hike Rae Lakes Loop, this time with my dad. It started off with dificult conditions; we started in the middle of a heat wave with a summer storm on the way.

Last weekend my Dad and I hiked Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the contiguous United States. We did it in two days: the first we backpacked six miles to Trail Camp (~12,000 ft) in the heavy rain and hail.
Spent three days/two nights backpacking across Santa Cruz Island, the largest of the Channel Islands. One of California’s least visited national parks it felt especially isolated due to gale-force winds allowing a single boat to drop-off campers the first two days of our trip.
Camped at Van Damme State Park on the northern California coast near Fort Bragg. It was an excellent time of the year: the wildflowers are blooming, the weather was great, and it wasn’t too crowded.
