A serene mountain peak bathed in the soft glow of sunset looms over a cascading stream, framed by vibrant red flowers in Bella Coola, BC. It's a snapshot of tranquil wilderness, captured in one perfect moment.

The Tranquility of the Wilderness

I can't believe it's been more than a year since I've been up in the Eastern Sierra, enjoying all of the spectacular outdoorsy goodness the region has to offer.

I'm shooting for several trips, with the first (hopefully) being in late Spring or very early Summer at the latest. On that trip I'm fixing to do a little of everything with my wife as we both love wandering in nature, sitting out under the stars, and exploring new locations.

I'm getting all excited now.

I can't wait to go exploring.

The Chumash Wilderness

While hiking in the Los Padres Natl Forest today I was set upon by an interesting little bit of weather.

It started with a gradual increase in wind that began to form lenticular clouds, and as these clouds formed they seemed to coalesce into one large mass of cloud. The wind became so strong that whenever I turned my face to it, it would blow the breath right out of my mouth.

At this point I wasn't concerned with rain, but rather lightning strikes, as high winds in the mountains can sometimes lead to static discharge. Despite this, as I wasn't carrying a tripod, I continued on with my hike, keeping an ear out for the sound of thunder.

Now while I wasn't concerned with rain earlier in the hike, while I was on my way back the sky decided to spit on me. I say "spit" since it wasn't enough rain to soak anything, but just enough the make me aware it was raining. It lasted for only about a minute before letting up, and shortly after the wind kicked back up and really cut right trough my outerwear.

It wasn't unbareable, but it sure did send a chill into me.

Regardless, I'm glad I got out to do some exploring.

Let's go.
