Welcome!
I love hiking. I picked up this passion while I was going to graduate school in Bloomington, Indiana where I met a wonderful group, The Bloomington Hikers. Every weekend we roamed the dense, green hills of southern Indiana. It was a great way to build strong friendships, learn about the environment, marvel at the beauty of nature, and forget about life’s worries. Now, hiking is in my blood.
Currently living in San Diego and working as a librarian, I explore the outdoors of Southern California. This blog mostly documents my hiking adventures in San Diego and Los Angeles County. Every now and then I hope to post about resources, events in the area, film and book reviews, and since I enjoy baking, maybe a few recipes.
I hope this blog will lead you to some great hiking trails and inspire you to explore what Southern California has to offer.
Happy Hiking!
Thanks for adding me to your blogroll. I am really enjoying your photography and reports.
Thanks! Looking forward to your posts!
Like Derek, I want to thank you for adding me to your blog roll. I will be posting a few new items soon and I will be keeping an eye out for your blog as well.
Cheers and Happy Hiking!

Thank you Derek for this. I actually live in southern Indiana currently, and have been around Bloomington many times. I am currently in the MLIS program through San Jose State, about halfway through the program, almost if our roles have been reversed. I am looking to start a blog similiar to this, and found that you had the name taken, no hard feelings. Any suggestions on the name of m blog? Especially since my passion is hiking?? Nice to meet you Derek!
Uh, hi. My name is not Derek. Derek is another hiking blogger. My name is Heidrun. Hmm, I had a hard time coming up with this name. Good luck!
Two years from my comment here, I visited Bloomington doing user research for my job. Bloomington was a nice little city with incredible restaurants. Everyone on campus was very friendly, too. Keep up the good work. Your hiking game keeps getting more intense, it seems.
Thanks, Derek! Yes, Bloomington is a great town. I really enjoyed my time there. I hope you are enjoying Santa Barbara.
