The Pierces were lucky enough to be hosted last night by the Grons at their new house in Larkspur. Very cool. Good luck Jakob, Ingrid, Carolline, and upcoming twins!

Robert can now die with peace in his heart. Our long national nightmare is over.

After decades of struggle with obtaining information and wilderness permits for backcountry hikes in our glorious Sierra, always involving numerous phone calls to ranger stations and using the MAIL to send in applications, Robert has just purchased a wilderness permit for this year’s hike ONLINE.

Recreation.gov NOW HANDLES WILDERNESS PERMITS!!!

AWESOME!!

Destination:  Lake Mary Region (Mammoth)

There is a god.

Bon Voyage, you scurvy dogs.
