We finally made it to La Jolla for our summer stint. They replaced the traditional fireworks show with some drones. Cool, but a little underwhelming. Looking forward to a little down time on the beach and a lot of surfing. I’m also hoping to polish off my next book. More to come …

Review of The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles

Exploring the Wind Rivers
With no options for international travel, we decided to go back to the Wind Rivers. We’ve been up the Popo Agie before, but decided to do it again, but this time to explore some new lakes. We usually take a guide, but with Covid, there were no guides this year. Instead, Allen’s Diamond 4 Ranch…
