Unable to get out for an overnighter for a number of reasons, but I've been wanting to test my new tent and sleep gear. Great use of my small backyard. #hike, #camping, #backpacking, #backyardcamp

The peak on the Los Padres trail in Ventura County. Thursdays training hike. Slowly but surely buiding my endurance. #hiking, #dayhikes, #getoutside
