President's Day 2010


"They're just showing off."

Though this was a holiday, getting a day off work was not my first thought for the day. It was "how am I not going to eat anything?" I had just started the Master Cleanse, and all I could eat/drink was water and the special lemonade for the cleanse.

But beyond that, the entire day was open. My roommate Jon can be very spontaneous, and when I suggested a trip to the mountains, it may have been only a few minutes before we were in the car driving there.

I took my (other) roommate's digital SLR camera and a 20 oz container filled with my Master Cleanse drink.

As we headed up Mountain Ave to Mount Baldy, suddenly traffic (the little that there was) stopped and the road was blocked. Apparently a rescue was taking place and the road wouldn't be opened for some time. So we had to change our plans.

To the farther mountain range we headed! This one I knew very little about and was thrilled to see new beautiful spots.

We took some extremely scenic roads, and then we ended up in this region. We parked and started walking, and I started snapping pics.

The way down was beautiful as well, and it was a very fun day for both of us. We were very pleased that we decided to be spontaneous. The day off felt like a very restful day.

I never regret a mountain adventure.
