Here it is... Unicorn Planet

Hike to Unicorn Falls

This is my first adventure out into Matilija Falls hiking area with 3 of my new Ojai gal pals, Jeneva (Cheetah), Pamela & Vera . The night before we sent my friend Jeneva the link to Unicorn Planet video because we were excited to finally go in search of the mysterious Ojai waterfalls. She showed up the next morning with unicorn horns for everyone with the characters names on them. It was hilarious. It's a beautiful area only a few miles from home. We never made it to the falls, but we sure had a lot of fun.

Pratt Trail

This trailhead is just a few blocks from our apartment. It travels behind neighborhood property until you get further up the mountain. You could hike for days, as it intersects with many different trails in the area. What better to do on a somewhat stormy day...and I love that it's so close to home. I don't know how I didn't know about this trail when I lived here before?

Wheeler Gorge Nature Trail

There is a nature loop trail & campground just a few miles up the 33. We decided to go check it out while Toby was in town.

Lake Casitas

Of course one of the first things on the list in Ojai was for Greg to check out his new home disc golf course at Lake Casitas. I went along for the walk so I could get some outdoor time and take some pictures. It is such a beautiful course.

My New Stone Playground

I have a new favorite place! If you drive about thirty minutes from Ojai up Hwy 33 there is a turn off to the Rose Valley Sespe Wilderness area. My friend Matt took me there for a great hike to a place called Piedra Blanca (which means 'white rock'). It felt a lot like southern Utah so I was right at home. It was almost like being on the moon in places. I had fun doing lots of handstands and cartwheels. Matt is a photographer and had brought his camera and all of his lenses and and took some amazing pictures. Some of them are mine taken with my little point & shoot, but the really good ones are his. Someday I will have the camera of my dreams so I can take the kind of pictures I have always wanted to. Enjoy!

Perhaps a job?

So I had my fourth and final interview at the Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara today. After 4 years hiatus I have decided to give massage therapy another try. When I had my hands on interview with the spa director I was so nervous. I haven't given a massage since I was injured in 2005. It was definitely not my best work..haha! But thanks to having better training than most therapists in California my worst is probably on par. They had a ton of applicants but were only hiring 3 people. I was offered a job (contingent upon drug testing and a clear background check. I took the drug test but now I have to wait... unless they find some dark and shady criminal past I am unaware of I will be starting soon.) I will keep you posted...
