Hiking and biking in the Coachella Valley and
beyond. Several 100 mile bike rides are
scheduled each year and these photos show me
pushing on toward the finish line in the Tour de
Palm Springs, the Stagecoach Century, and hiking
the Boo Hoff Trail. There are over 350 miles of
hiking trails around Palm Springs and I intend
to see them all before I'm planted.

If you are coming to the Coachella Valley and
want to find out where to hike or bike, drop me
an e-mail and I'll get you connected with the
people who do that sort of thing.
The Original Palm Springs Writers Guild hosts
their public meetings on the first Sunday of
each month and guests are welcome. If you are an
author, or would like to be one, drop by the
Palm Desert Library on Fred Waring Blvd. at 2:00
p.m. on the first Monday of each month. You'll
hear excellent speakers and meet published
authors, new friends, and everyone in between.

SUMMERS - In the summer
you'll find me in Anchorage, Alaska, in a house
we've lived in for over thirty-two years. It's
on the bluff of Turnagain Arm with a 180° view
of the Arm and the Kenai peninsula. It is a
short drive to great mountain hikes and the
coastal trail. With twenty hours of sunlight,
most Alaskan's stay active longer in the summer
and tend to sleep less and work or play more.
Every year on the longest day of the year, I
walk the Resurrection Pass Trail running some 42
miles from Hope to Sterling. If I can get
started around 10:00 a.m. I generally reach the
other end about 7:00 a.m. the next day and if I
am very careful, dry my feet every couple of
hours, dangle them in the cold creek water, and
put on new dry socks, I get there without any
blisters. I almost always see moose, and
occasionally a bear.
WINTERS - I'll be in Palm Springs, California
writing, talking, hiking, biking, and making new
friends. Each of the activities takes a
different set of muscles, so staying in shape
for these things plus racquetball can mean I'm
more sore than I should be sometimes. It is at
those times that a wee dram of scotch whilst
sitting in the hot tub looking at the night
stars can ease those bodily pains and prepare me
for the writing day coming up. |
