I’ll be in Columbus until Wednesday. Where shall I go?

Yesterday I did a 5 hour hike in the Laguna Mountains, which are part of the Pacific Crest Trail. It was the most scenic of any hike I’ve been on so far this year. If you go, you will need to get a parking pass which is for sale at the general store [...]

The hikes just south of Julian still have extensive fire damage from the 2003 Wildfires. The Volcan Mountain Preserve is just north of Julian and has very little fire damage.

This is hike #58 in 60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: San Diego and M-6 Trip 3 in Afoot & Afield in San Diego.

Yesterday we were at the world famous Julian Pie Company in Julian, California. This is the place the Travel Channel went to on their San Diego show. Not only do they sell pies to go, but they also have a small dining room, a front patio and a huge back patio. If you are near [...]

Two weeks ago I left my job of four years. Since then stock has plummeted 43%. I’m reminded of that classic movie scene where the hero walks away from a car as it explodes and never looks back.

Two weeks ago I was 210 at 16% bodyfat. Today I’m 210 at [...]

Another day, another hike. This time I completed the North Fortuna and Rim Trail in just over 2 hours. Why so many hikes you may ask? As summer heats up, most of the great hiking in San Diego will be too hot for humans and just perfect for rattlesnakes. Last month was my [...]

I’ve owned a mountain bike for almost 6 years now. However, up until yesterday it never trailed off the sweet comfort of a paved road. After lunch I went to the Mission Trails Regional Park and did actual mountain biking for almost 2 hours. The Summer of George continues!

Last month I told a friend not to do a for sale by owner. In that post I went into detail why you need to court buyers agents more than ever. Someone asked me what I would do if I had to sell my house now. Before I outline my plan, let me first state [...]

Tackled this steep hike inside the Mission Trails Regional Park today.
