I escaped to this beautiful and serene place known as North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve today.
The weather was perfect, flowers blooming with cows moving throughout the pastures checking out us humans.
As beautiful as the Reserve is the low water flow through the ravine, and slow trickle of the Beatson Falls and missing water from the Phantom Falls prove evident of the drought California finds itself in.
I'm not sure how or why the flowers bloom or the reserve tendered green pastures but nature has a way of doing what it needs to do to provide to the animals that depend on it and that is all that matters at the end of the day.
This was another hard hike, but it was one that offered yet another outdoor adventure that will stay with me forever.
Wax on, wax off all the way to the top of Mt Everest and Lhotse! Amazing shot w Nuptse in the background. Headed from 16,500’ to 17,100’.

Sometimes people ask me what I do for fun and my answer is usually just “go outside”. Then they ask me what activities I like to do outside and I’m like, activities??? Is it not enough to enjoy a dirt? Enjoy a trees? Listen to the sound of a burbling brook? Does one must have an activity to be outside?
Sometimes life is about getting mud on your shoes and nothing else.
