Indeed, Hugh. For me, without short term memory, it's something I've learned to embrace because being semi-lost kind of my natural state now. It really is amazing how fun and simple it is to re-figure things out when it is needed and there is a lot of freedom in not bothering in between. Grin.

Deacon, Yes I agree getting lost can be a grand experience or at least having a general idea of where you want to go and the unknown up ahead can offer up a new and wondrous experience. At my age those are precious. Hugh Sunland, CA On Saturday, March 30, 2013 2:53:44 AM UTC-7, Deacon Patrick

It'll be a fun one! There's a big push to get the LA River & Aroyo Seco routes completed. Those will be pretty amazing when it happens! On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 10:18 PM, hsmitham wrote: > Wouldn't miss it. You'll be able to ride to the Ocean. Figure I'll park > and ride the LA River trail into

Great report... Some of the place names are familiar (I grew up in OC) but most of my exploring in the Angeles was farther east. The flora + geology largely looks the same though, so it brings back memories. --Smitty On Saturday, March 30, 2013 12:04:16 AM UTC-7, hsmitham wrote: > > Decided to

Great ride! Getting lost is a grand experience, aye? You're about to go from green to brown. We're still looking at a few weeks before we start to go green, though we saw a few blades of grass in our front yard show up green yesterday. Not even our crocuses (croci?) are out yet. With abandon, P
