More rain in the hills. Dozens of hikers airlifted from the Sespe Wilderness due to flash floods and swollen rivers. Amatures.

Hiked the back side of Pine Mountain in the snow, forgot my camera, got soaked through and through. Not too fun. Spent the afternoon exploring this faux ghost town tourist trap set up by the city folk and keeping Tess away from a horny hound dog. Sorta fun. Crashed out by the fire under the full moon with a bottle of Barefoot and my journal. Rad fun!
