March 21st

We started at the Ortega Country Candy and Cookie Shoppe and thought we had reached the top. Wrong! We had another 4 miles to go before we did. We had a sweeping panoramic view from there. We could see the city of Lake Elsinore, the lake itself, the entire valley, and off in the distance, snow-covered peaks. Very beautiful. On our way downhill, we stopped to talk to two young ladies. Turns out they were Jehovah's Witnesses out doing their work. John told them what we were doing and gave them one of our brochures. Can you imagine? We gave them one of our brochures. We finally walked into town and passed by the RV park that we will be moving to tomorrow. We walked 11.3 miles and finally made it over the Santa Ana Mountains. I found a golf ball, 1 open-end wrench, 2 socket wrenches, 1 Allen wrench, and .52 in coins. I put 11.3 miles on my New Balance 822s. Stay tuned.
