The Blog Continues

Although Dick Jordan can only type poorly using his left hand, he has purchased voice dictation software that should allow him to continue to write the blog as long as he can make it to the hikes!

Dick Takes A Spill!

Dick Jordan fell on the trail during yesterday’s Ridgecrest hike.  The good news:  He didn’t break any bones.  The bad news is that he has “Gamekeeper’s Thumb” (aka “Skier’s Thumb”) and will have to wear a cast for six weeks.  Hopefully, he’ll still be able to make next week’s hike.

Good News, Bad News Hike (Wolf Ridge)

There was good news, and bad news for our Wolf Ridge hike.

The bad news:  Fog predicted to extend inland in the morning, followed by sunshine (and no shade) the rest of the day.
The good news:  The fog was long gone by the time we arrived at the trailhead and unlike last year when the hot sun cooked our brains this year a slight breeze kept the temperature down to about 70:  A perfect day for hiking in an area with perfect views.  (Click here to view photos taken by Theresa Fisher and Dick Jordan).

West Ridgecrest Hike Photos, New Photo Albums, Now On-Line!

Photos shot by Theresa Fisher and Dick Jordan during last week's West Ridgecrest hike are now on-line.  View them on the blog or click here for the on-line album.

Dick Jordan has began archiving photos by area rather than date.  So if you missed the photos from the Wolf Ridge hike, or want to browse those for a specific trail, you'll be able to find them under the "Photo Albums" tab at the top of the blog.  (New albums for the Spring 2010 hikes have been set up; others will be added each week.  It will take Dick a while to move photos from 2008 through Winter 2010 into these new "by place" albums).
