TALES OF OUR TRAVELS AND OUR LOVE OF ADVENTURE

Getting away close to home - Yucaipa Regional Park

I'm sure everyone reading this knows the feeling - when you've been too long in your house and need to get away.  In our case, we wanted to take the trailer out since it had been over 2 months since we'd used it last, and we felt like spending a few days at the regional park. We had a very nice site - we used the newer loop that was built a few years ago.  The site was level, and our big slide window faced the mountains. Our view out front was towards the Crafton Hills and the setting sun - which was lovely on Tuesday night since there were a few clouds.

We set up Sunday afternoon, and stayed for 3 nights.  I went to work as usual - I just had a shorter drive to go "home."




Tuesday night Don cooked Italian sausage on the grill, and I sautéed up a pan of bell peppers and onions to make some pretty nice sandwiches.


The peak in the middle is higher than it looks - that's San Bernardino Peak. We live in a canyon just south of it (to the right).

Work has been interesting, to say the least.  I'm doing my best to not be a "lame duck" president, and some of the battles are just plain silly. Others are extremely frustrating; others make me so angry. I know I have a countdown widget over on the right side of my blog - but there's also the countdown of school/work days - 133!

It brings back so many memories to see photos of the regional park. My family used watch the fireworks up upon a ridge (at a friends house), and my cross country team used to run there all the time. It's nice being in Texas, but sometimes I miss home too....seeing those photos makes it one of those days.
