SPRING HIKING


The rains in the past few months have paid off in beautiful blooming of the desert plants.  We’ve taken a couple of hiking trips with friends and enjoyed the scenery, fresh air, exercise and good company.

The first hikes were at Lake Pleasant which is a man made lake northeast of Surprise.






Our most recent hike was at Estrella Mountain Regional Park which is south of Surprise on the south side of I 10.  We went early in the day to stay cool and we only met a few mountain bikers on the trails.  However, we did meet a rattlesnake which was exciting.







The blossoming cacti are amazing along with all the hardy desert flowers.



Now the packing up begins in earnest as we are heading out on Tuesday.

Living Large Defined

After retiring from the BC Forest Service, selling their home in Kamloops and living at "no fixed address" for 10 months, Linda and Stuart bought a house in Grand Forks. They are now embracing life in this small community as well as Snowbirding south for the winter and are living "larger" than their dreams. This is Linda's blog of their adventures.
