S'more, please...

I highly recommend camping at Hurkey Creek, in the San Bernardino mountains (near Idyllwild). Nice facilities, including flushing toilets (yeah!) and hot showers (yeah!) for a nominal fee (50 cents for three minutes...not bad). After a long, hot hike, I would have paid ten bucks! We had a blast. The weather was perfect, and we did not get attacked by bears. Maybe next time! When do we go again?

"So, just how long do I have to shake this thing?" (referring to the Jiffy Pop, of course)


...and what's a camping trip without margaritas?


...and good friends?



...and bongos?




"What was that?"
