... it 16.5 miles and climbed from 200 feet above sea level. <br> -It's 8:00 PM. Lieing on an inflatable mattress and barely audible I try to thank Martin's mom for the hospitality, the deep sleep overcomes and its 9 hours of powerful sleep. Martin and I were on the trail for a total of 14 hours, 22 miles and an elevation gain of 10,634 feet. Martin and I are pretty amazed with ourselves. When I say, "'Thang!' You say 'Ain't no!'" . "Thang!" ......I am a honky. <br>

... medieval.<br><br>Topping it off were the multiple factions of friends we got to experience it with. It's always cool when worlds collide at such a fun event. The grounds were at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. It was beautiful, the best weather. The guy who does the lighting for their shows had 140 palm trees surrounding the venue lit up as well. He also rigged the first 20 or so out from each side of the stage ...

I had made many a trips to Big Bear during the snowboarding season being that it is really the only place you can do a day trip from Vegas. However a few times we got the luxury of having a place to crash for the night. Only Teresa and I would somehow manage to be able to make a crash pad out of Oscar de la Hoyas Big Bear cabin and training compound. The two of us and usually 15 or so of the worlds best fighters under one roof..... we consider ourselves very lucky ladies :)

Good morning from 29 Palms Golf Resort. Our first night spent camping was a success. I am surprised that I slept pretty well and I even slept through the entire night.... in a car!!!<br><br>We are actually in an RV Park, which is quite a strange introduction to camping. When I think of camping, I imagine lush greenery and perhaps a ...

I am totally exhausted after a whole day wandering around the Joshua Tree National Park in the desert heat. <br><br>We are camping for the first night in 29 Palms. Woot-woot! We started out the evening great, already cooked and ate out of our van. Ok... it was ...

... while. We get to go camping with my niece Stefanie, I miss her so much and am really looking forward to seeing her.  I go in to this New Year with gentle hope and gratitude. As we settle down into this life of smallness, in our 8 x 23 foot existence I find myself more grateful everyday. I am so thankful for the internet and this gift of connection. Wishing you the best, Love and Gratitude, Renee and Isabelle Choose Empathy over Apathy.

After touring San Diego, our last stop was<br>Palm Springs, CA. This city is in the middle of the desert surrounded<br>by mountains. As you drive through, there are high winds you can<br>encounter with sand blowing onto the road, so slow down and drive with<br>caution, especially at night watch out for nocturnal ...

... address book full of emergency contacts from Triple A to the National Guard. From the 10 highway, I had to go off into a seldom-used side road to get to Joshua Tree. This went on for about 40 miles till I realized the possibility that Mapquest might screw me over the same way it did on my way to Arizona. I distracted myself of this frightening possibility by opening up my rental Passat and testing the limits of the stock 2.0 turbo engine on the miles and miles of deserted road and ...

After a close call in San Jose I made it to the made house that was LAX. Just like up north every flight was delayed or cancelled and the ticket counters and security check points were overflowing with people...I ran in dragging my backpack behind me looking around frantically trying to figure out where to check in... Through the crowd I see Mikey, a friend of ours from UCSB, waving me down, rushing over to him he smile and tells me to relax as 'He's worked it out ...
