Exactly 6 years ago I met a beautiful young girl called Liz. We were both working as volunteers fixing up the Musch Trail, and our shared love of the mountains brought us together. Since then she’s been a constant source of love, strength and happiness and has never stop surprising me. I’m looking forward to many more adventures together.

If you are a local hiker you should check out the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council site that she’s been working on. I especially like her Plant of the Month feature, and the hundreds of trailwork pictures she’s collected.
