Under a cover of clouds and precipitation, the 137th Tournament of Roses Parade kicked off 2026 in Pasadena, California. Celebrating 'The Magic in Teamwork,' floats pay tribute to themes of community, friendship, collaboration, and resilience. We wish you a hopeful and blessed new year.
We are thankful for our kooky family, including our five bunnies. In this post, we share Oliver, Scout, and Pippa, and their stories of love and resilience. We wish for you hope and light this Thanksgiving, with love from The Cranky Camper family.
After a rainy couple weeks in November, we enjoyed a half-day adventure hiking and wine tasting in Agua Dulce.
Located in the Los Padres National Forest, Mt. Pinos and the surrounding peaks offer many opportunities for adventure across all seasons- in sunshine and in snow. This posts covers two hiking and camping weekend adventures in September.
With over 300 miles of trail in 680000 acres of the San Bernardino National Forest, there is much to explore. On a warm Sunday afternoon, we hiked to Bonita Falls and spent some time cooling off in the creek.
