Walking on water..........#2

Hi Everyone:
Beach Hike was a great time. There were 5 of us: Vicki, Ginny, Mark, Steve and me. Perfect for us Temeculans (104 degrees in Tem.). We were happy to be at the beach. Ginny parked her car in Oceanside; great parking lot; only $3 until midnight! We carpooled from Temecula in Steve's car and met her there, then proceeded to Carlsbad in Steve's car. Steve parked right near the restaurant. We started in Carlsbad at 2:30, and made it all the way to the Oceanside Pier by 4:00pm. Our guess about 3.5-4 miles. Some of the journey was treacherous!. (We love adventure). We had to pass by huge rocks with the waves coming at us! however, we did it! We were a bit soaked, but it felt so good on such a hot day. The lagoon (which was shown on map) was not a problem at all (maybe due to drought ?) now, there is nothing left but a small pond up a few yards from the beach. The water temp. was very warm; beautiful day; great company, and the Margaritas hit the spot back in Carlsbad at the end of the hike!
Thanks, MJ

Good old #1

Hi everyone: We did our first hike; it was great. There were four of us Carrie, Vickie, Ginny and myself, oh, yes, and Dante (Ginny's dog). Mark's daughter came into town early a.m. so he could not join us. We missed you Mark, but hopefully you will be able to join us next hike. It was a bit hot, but that cold stream was heaven! Dante was the only one able to completely get wet, but our feet felt great in that cold water! Many shaded areas, and we did stop for water breaks. We hiked 3 miles in and then 3 miles out! started at around 2:30 (right on time) and returned about 5:45 just in time for dinner. Dinner was perfect and a great way to end hike day. A big thanks to Ginny J. and Gary (hubby) for hosting their home. The food, wine, socializing hit the spot!
Happy Hiking, MJ
