I had a hike to Torrey Pines, a beautiful national preserve right on the ocean, planned today, but the group canceled. Luckily, I found another group later in the week doing a similar hike, so I would not miss it. Today I headed only 6 minutes away from my AirBnb to hike Cowles Mountain.
As I was parking on the side of the street, I saw a police officer writing tickets for not turning the wheels to or away from the curb to cars parked just like mine. I quickly got back to my car and turned the wheels. I later posted a review both on Google and Yelp warning people about that (while patting herself on the back :)
Listed as "heavily trafficked" on AllTrails, this trail was exactly that, especially during the holiday week. And it was hot, really hot! With no shade in sight, the trail has multiple switchbacks, slowly exposing the beauty of inland San Diego as you climb up.

| Already sweating... Ugh... |

| Awesome feeling of accomplishment |
In the evening, I decided to join the local dive bar Meetup. I never knew dive bars had such following and culture. Regardless, had such a great time and met a few nice people.
