The day started with a hike up the High View Trail in Black Rock with ranger Alison and a pretty cool kid named Arden Hayes (and his mom and sister) who is looking for ways kids can help make the world better. He's developing a project called Roosevelt Kids to inform other kids on things they can do to help the environment. www.rooseveltkids.org Amidst all the meetings and planning sessions this week, I did get a little time for hikes on my own. This evening, my cousin and her friend were able to join me from L.A. They set up camp in Blackrock, near my house, and we drove into the park for sunset at Skull Rock.
