South Shore Living

Wow what an amazing weekend, no what an amazingly epic month.

It all began when the PCT crew (Kelly's crew) rolled in honking their horns. We decided to spend July 4th the right way with a slackline, guitar playing (yes I am currently learning how to play), picnic, lake swimming and general festivities with beer on stunning Tahoe Lake on Chimney Beach. 

I left on a bus a few days later up to Donner Lake where I got to work with the Girl Scouts of Northern California on several volunteer service projects this month, in a beautiful place, with some old friends. I spent my days hiking, swimming, working hard and my nights playing guitar, hiking, swimming, giggling and staring at the beauty of the Milky Way.
Driving back to base with some of my girls, you know who, we spent 2 days driving to secluded beaches (Agora and Fallen Leaf Lake), hiking on some wicked switchbacks and tearing the town up.
These past couple of days I have been kicking it with some trail crew friends scaling waterfalls, hiking up switchbacks to more secluded lakes where catching fish for dinner is a must, sailing on Lake Tahoe during the sunset on a sailboat, cycling to sunsets on the beach and cooking huge ass meals to satisfy the belly after such adventures. 

Today is a day to catch up on some errands, daily attendings and rest. Tomorrow I start my 2-3 day cycle adventure around the 72 mile Lake Tahoe. Next week I head back out to Soda Springs to complete my 4th Volunteer Service Project and then the following week I head to Santa Cruz to go on a month long project in Yosemite. How much better can my life truly get right now?
