Haunting tree on trail to 3 Sisters Waterfall
Beautiful composition and color.— October 17, 2012 8:14 p.m.
So Long
Ah well. I came here specifically hoping to fund Duncan S's review of "True Grit" and learn instead that he has retired. As I haven't lived in the San Diego area in 25 years I don't look at the Reader more than once in a while, but one of the highlights from my grad school time at UCSD was Duncan's thoroughly justified trashing of Spielberg's E.T., which as I recall earned him death threats from outraged sentimentalists (a more dangerous bunch when aroused than jihadists).— December 23, 2010 2:58 p.m.
Climb to the top of Anza-Borrego's Sunset Mountain, the peak that warmly glows in late-afternoon light.
This was one of my first serious desert hikes a couple of decades ago. Closest I've ever come to heat exhaustion; I learned a lot about what not to do from that one. (I.e.: don't start mid-morning in the summer; don't forget to take plenty of food and water; don't forget that on an off-trail hike the descent is as grueling as the ascent...) My reward, at least, was a sight of a desert bighorn at the summit, a couple of hundred feet away.— June 2, 2010 8:30 p.m.
