Jennifer and Patrick.

After spending a restful three days in the cities and hosting a retirement party for my father, I hit the road again up to Banning Thursday Morning. This time I was joined by my sister Jennifer and her boyfriend Patrick. They were troopers in getting up at the crack of dawn to join me and helped me with my 1 PM and 4 PM hikes, both of which went longer than I had told them. Jenny played the french horn in school and I am not sure what Patrick's musical background was but they both did a great job and followed my always vague instructions to a tea. They now travel on to Winnepeg and I wish them a great trip.
