For postings and news as Michael and Gab visit the 358 National Park areas in the continental U.S. Channel Islands - Day 1. I hope the fog clears. I hope there aren’t too many people. I hope the island is pretty. I wonder if we’ve packed enough fuel. That’s the one. Now, how to get there? Ugh Four weeks to wait until the next boat sailed to Santa Rosa. Out come the maps and highlighters. We rero...The f...

Facebook – FitToWander. Instagram – FitToWander. December 18, 2015. Just 45 minutes from Edinburgh lies Stirling, a pleasant medieval town and a castle that is arguably the most important castle in Scottish history. As the saying goes, “he who holds Stirling, holds Scotland.” Due to its geographical location, if a king was in control of Stirling castle, they could rule over and defend Scotland. If you have any interest in learning a little more about Scottish history, if you are a fan of Braveheart, or i...

Trail Quest: Sulphur Springs Trail | Songs of the Wilderness
https://songsofthewilderness.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/trail-quest-sulphur-springs-trail
Songs of the Wilderness. Posted by: James Wapotich. June 2, 2012. Trail Quest: Sulphur Springs Trail. The appeal of the Sulphur Springs Trail is that it lets one shave some miles off of the hike to Manzana Schoolhouse, which is normally 17 miles roundtrip from the trailhead near Nira Campground, making a day hike more possible or a longer multi-day backpacking trip through the area a little shorter, but not necessarily any easier. Bald Mountain and Hurricane Deck are seen from the Sulphur Springs Trail.

Songs of the Wilderness. Posted by: James Wapotich. May 4, 2015. Trail Quest: Visiting P-Bar Flat Campground. There are four different campgrounds found in the upper Santa Ynez River Recreation Area. Each of them can make for a good base camp from which to explore the different nearby trails. The campground at P-Bar Flat is located near Blue Canyon Trail, which connects to Cottam Camp, and can make for an interesting day hike destination. The Santa Ynez Mountains frame a view along Blue Canyon Trail.
