Explore The Great Outdoors

Every day is a good day when its being spent in the Desolation Wilderness. The outdoor photo above is the march up the trail to Lake Aloha (heading up to it from Heather and Susie Lakes located just to the East of Lake Aloha and lower in elevation).

Lake Aloha

Here's the expansive view across the lake. You can't make it out, but to give some perspective, South Lake Tahoe sits in the far distance (under the "thunderhead" cumulonimbus cloud to the left in the photo). Trust me, pictures don't do this open space justice.

Hikers And Backpackers - Be Prepared!

If you've never been here before, it's a place you want to go. Whether you are a backpacker looking to stay overnight or a day hiker wanting to explore, rugged beauty will be found throughout the Desolation Wilderness in the expansive Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Keep in mind, if you haven't spent much time in the outdoors, these hikes can be moderate in intensity, so make sure you are prepared.

Water and snacks are a must. Bring close you can peel off and quickly throw back on.

Temperatures vary throughout the year and the one constant is that the weather is always changing. Afternoon thunderstorms are a regular occurrence during the summer (which can lead to strong winds, thunder, lightning, hail, and brief heavy rains).

It's not likely you'll find yourself getting snowed on during the summer months (when the trails are typically fully open and accessible after the spring snow melt), but these elevations are pushing 7,000 - 10,000 feet plus, so it can never be ruled out. By all means, you'll run into patches of snow. Fun for the kids as they don't expect to get treated to a snowball fight during the summer!

Backpacking With Your Companion!

Going with your best companion is a must too, but make sure the trails are dog friendly. Bring plenty of food and water for them too.

Even though water is everywhere (you don't need to worry about treating their water like we need to do ours!), there are desolate areas along these trails where you'll find they need a drink on the longer, hotter, days.

Best Backpacking Shoe

For the best footwear, I transitioned from traditional hiking boots to the Altra Lone Peak. It's labeled as a "running shoe", but I use them for day hikes and backpacking.

The open toe box lends towards a wider shoe up at our toes. Don't think it makes a big difference? It does! No more bruised pinky toe because your toes are so scrunched in that narrow hiking boot you've been wearing.

They're so light weight they relieve stress on your legs too, so there's more fuel in the tank when you get to where you're going and you feel better when you get there. I'm 48, so I feel it from time to time!

They grip. There's a ton of loose chunk rock in the Desolation Wilderness, along with a lot of granite slab, so the inner sole rock guard blunts the sharp edges with each step and the grippiness keeps you on your feet.

They're not waterproof and that's actually a feature! They don't trap water on your feet like a traditional waterproof hiking shoe will after you miscalculated the stream crossing and got water in them, so your feet don't stay waterlogged. They dry out remarkably quick, so with the right pair of wicking socks, there's no need to shy away or worry about any water you encounter. It's truly unreal and was totally unexpected.

The only "slight" negative with these backpacking shoes is that you don't get the ankle support found in high top hiking boots, so there are times you feel like you're going to slip out of your shoes. This is mostly mental. However, if you don't have strong ankles, work these new hiking boots in. Make the long treks in your traditional hiking boots and trade off to these for your day excursions. The Altra's break in quickly, but you want to make sure you can handle the change.

Again, there's more than a lot to like about Altra's hiking shoe! They've made all the difference in the world for me and I'm glad I learned about them after stumbling across Jessica "Dixie" Mills online.

To find out more about her backpacking journeys check out her blog at Homemade Wanderlust - she's got a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things backpacking and has through-hiked the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail), CDT (Continental Divide Trail), and the Appalachian Trail (just to name a few of her major accomplishments).

Cheers to exploring Lake Aloha and the great outdoors. It does wonders for the mind and body, so get out there!

Hoka vs Altra

I feel I run slower in my Hoka Clifton 8s vs my Altra Torin 6s. Has anyone else experienced this?

Ma se tengo le risorse in cassaforte

Nessuno può sentirla la mia cassaforte

Mantenere il sole acceso, fossi in grado

Vi avrei già bruciato, figli di un bancomat clonato

Centro commerciale affollato, un disco che ha floppato

Il tuo manager che ti ruba il pathos

Ma mantieni lo status e se il gioco vale le candele

Le distanze che ti tocca mantenere sono vere

E costa più di tutti i soldi stronzi (…)

Forse un giorno la mia fatica corrisponderà ai miei risultati

E pioverà su ‘sti artisti truccati

Ho sempre scritto sull'anima prima che sul foglio

Sentire non è ascoltare lo dico con orgoglio

Io non sogno il trono, non voglio restare seduto

Ma qualcuno non vede l'ora di darmi del venduto

In fondo che ne sai di come sto?

N'adà passà d'acqua sotto 'sti ponti

Prima che si risolvano e ritornino i conti

Quante ne ho viste, vissute o ne ho fatte sotto questo cielo

Giorno e notte, l'ho attraversata col motorino da parte a parte

O in metropolitana sotto il suolo sottostante

La sua forma è la mia forma

La Roma di chi se ne va ma che tanto poi ritorna

Non sento niente

Solo i sussuri della gente

Alla caccia del primo premio, alla faccia più sorridente

L’abc del rap italiano #12 (2)

Ti si sta vedendo l’altra

Ti si sta vedendo l’altra.

Somiglia a te:

i passi, la stessa fronte aggrondata,

gli stessi tacchi alti

tutti macchiati di stelle.

Quando andrete per strada

insieme, tutte e due,

che difficile sapere

chi sei, chi non sei tu!

Così uguali ormai, che sarà

impossibile continuare a vivere

così, essendo tanto uguali.

E siccome tu sei la fragile,

quella che appena esiste, tenerissima,

sei tu a dover morire.

Tu lascerai che ti uccida,

che continui a vivere lei,

la falsa tu, menzognera,

ma a te così somigliante

che nessuno ricorderà

tranne me, ciò che eri. E verrà un giorno

- perché verrà, sì, verrà -

in cui guardandomi negli occhi

tu vedrai

che penso a lei e che la amo

e vedrai che non sei tu.
