Rolling on to Carlisle
Rode a train from London to Carlisle, where we will lodge for the first two nights of our Hadrian's Wall Path hike. What a landscape!
After arriving, we had time to visit the Carlisle Cathedral. It's a lovely and homey place with this sweet mosaic.

A day out in London
How cultured are we?
We visited the British Museum in the morning (and snapped this photo in the Museum Library's Reading Room)
In the afternoon, we dashed off to the Royal Albert Hall where Maxim Vengerov played Sibelius and the Royal Symphony Orchestra led by Vasily Petrenko delivered a dynamite rendition of Stravinsky's The Firebird.

West Fork of San Gabriel River
We walked along the West Fork on a day that started colder than expected but warmed up by the time we got to the Glenn Campground. The light was terrific.
Carole Scurlock's Flickr album is remarkable. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjC27xg

On the Josephine Peak Road
The Meanderthals hiked to the summit of Josephine Peak (5538') today.
Six inches of snow was reported up there a few days ago. We found patches on the cooler north side above Josephine Gap (about 5000') but the open summit was clear and dry.
