So here I am with only a few days left here in Santa Cruz, CA. I am being relocated to Tahoe for the summer months. I am scheduled to work on road mitigation for two months in the eastern Sierras. I seem not to be able to get away from Mammoth and Tahoe. Gorgeous forests, ATV's, giant trees, campfires, and backpacking in amazing places is what the next couple of months hold for me.
These two months in Santa Cruz, CA have been outrageously perfect. Backpacking adventures to crystal clear rivers, mountain biking along the ocean cliffs, picnicking in giant redwoods, laughing til tears erupt from my eyes, having mind-blowing and life altering conversations, getting to know people worth getting to know and learning more about this world, trail work and myself at a rapid evolution of me. The experiences I have had the chance to experience and the people I am humbled to have met within just a short period of time is insane. I can only imagine what living in the forests of the Sierras with 30 people for two months will produce as well!
In almost a goodbye celebration for me; this week is Bike Week (actually really month) for Santa Cruz. I get to bike with other passionate cyclists, share stories, get tons of free food and gear and experience a biking side of SC that I would not have thought exists. So free breakfasts, ice cream, pizza and beer here I come!
