Rode to the Brown property in Hellhole on Sunday



We rode to the brown property on Sunday and met up with some neighbors who were hiking with friends from LA. There is fresh beautiful tagging at the old foundation. There is also a very recent giant oak tree that went down on the trail, but it's easy to get around it.

Hellhole Jambalaya for Two



 I created a new favorite at dinner time. Hellhole Jambalaya for Two -
Serve with jasmine or basmati white rice and port wine (start drinking the port wine in a little glass while you're cooking)
