Return to the Outdoors

We jumped off the grid this weekend to catch up on some well needed rest and relaxation. Up about an hour and a half out side of LA there is a little campground called George Wheeler outside of Ojia Valley.

To say that this weekend was spectacular would be a gross understatement. It was the most relaxed I have been in nearly four years. Just getting away, being disconnected, and completely free of worry was something I think everyone needs now and again.

Our camp was right next to a beautiful water-fall (about 12 feet tall). Erisa, Z, and I pitched our tent right on the edge of the gorge that the creek went through. All night long we got the soothing white noise of the water rushing over the rocks. The night sky was fantastic as well. To be able to see stars again - I can't express how much that I had missed the actual night sky as opposed to the purple haze we get in LA.

Being this relaxed - of course I got sick. Stupid head cold. My immune system took a vacation as well.

We will definitely be doing more camping.
