That's the last straw. Your knowledge of popular culture (rock, movies, all of it) from "our" generation is equal to that of any two others of us. I hereby appoint you our official cultural attaché.

J.C.: Boltalholic, Master of Mud, Traffic Cone and, now, The Master's cultural attaché.

Impressive.

And Munge is pretty good at it too. But J.C. comes up with so much of this stuff that fits, and from so out of the blue.

Life can't get any better than this.

We had a nice dinner with all four chairs filled.

It's colder than a witch's broomstick out there and warm in here from two wood stoves.

Christmas carols playing, the girls just got the Christmas stuff down and are setting up and decorating the tree. Bantering back and forth.

(Favorite line so far, from Katie regarding a dispute about how to set up the tree: "Tricia, I've been doing this sh#t a lot longer than you").

Well I'll be. It looks like Katie has time for a short trip with Dad! She and I and the dogs, plus maybe some of her Excursion Club friends. We'll backpack three days in the San Rafael Wilderness, just over an hour from campus.

I love that area. It's the same place where Vicki and I got engaged 192 years ago. And I love this kid.

Katie and I had a fine, fine three day trip in great weather. We got a few nice photos, including this "selfie:"




Hiking up Manzana Canyon:







It didn't take very long until we saw one of these:




We gave him plenty of time to finish his trail crossing before we resumed our hike:




Manzana Creek always has wonderful pools:




Our goal for the day was nine miles to the top of this bluff (and nice views, sunsets and sunrises):













And, dinner as the sun sets:

Fun shots. That pool looks really inviting - especially with the hot temps today - and the snake looks BIG! Glad you guys had fun. It's been unusually hot by the coast today and looks like the Pinns high was nearing 100! I thought about trying to head down and get a few bolts replaced. Not to be. Took a sweltering uni ride instead and got a few brief interludes of cool ocean air each time I turned toward the sea...storm's comin' in...

Thanks J.C. On my drive home yesterday the temps near the ocean were in the 90s! And here at home today, Vicki had all the doors and windows open. A storm is coming, but late spring is too!

Katie and I day-hiked the next day into and then down White Ledge Canyon almost to the Sisquoc River:













Saw our good luck horned toad:




Flowers were everywhere:




And, again; this time our youngest dog Halifax was charging up the trail and ran directly over this shortly before I came upon it - and then I had to work (from a distance) to get it to move off the trail:




Camp chores:




And, finally, what I think Katie actually went on the trip for: dogs; I think there are times when they worship her  ;D

Funny pic with the hounds. Excellent tafoni style weathering in those sandstones  ;D
