We escaped suburbia for a quick hiking trip with our friend Jared. Off-roading in Jared's convertible Jeep over desert bumps, with the wind blowing in my face, made me feel like a passenger on a wild safari.

The only difference was that we were stopping to repair a battery cable, not to photograph elephants and wildebeest. Unfortunately, the Jeep had a lose connection, which caused us to repeatedly lose power. Finally, after many stops, wire jiggles and crossed fingers, we reached our destination.

Our hike ended up being an arduous mountain/rock climb and blaze your own path expedition, but don't worry. No slips or falls resulted in injury... this time. When I wasn't breaking my fall, I was taking lots of pictures and marveling at the beauty of nature engulfing us. Our trip was a welcomed retreat from traffic lights and crowded neighborhoods, and it left me feeling refreshed and renewed.
