Visual adventure from Carlos Eliason
The town of Oakhurst finds itself along winding highways, buried in the foothills of California, about one and half hours southwest of Yosemite. The picturesque setting lends itself to many wandering eyes as one drives along scenic two-lane roads, which is tough for a solo driving photographer with an itchy trigger finger. All the same, … Continue reading Weekend in the hills, Oakhurst, CA
It began soggy, but luckily, didn’t end that way. A two hour’s drive towards the familiar place, though my concerns were real – we were to backpack for only a night at Point Reyes, but with a danger of wet clothes and freezing temperatures, there was a definite possibility of being unhappy, uncomfortable, or even … Continue reading The fog, wind, sun and frost – Point Reyes, CA

A little altitude does the body good. A trip to Mount Whitney, the single highest peak in the lower Unites States, comes up at the end of July. 6,000 feet of climbing in just over 20 miles to the 14,000 foot summit means I’ve got to get my lungs in shape. Running and hiking just won’t … Continue reading Altitude training at Mt. Tallac, Lake Tahoe
