Last year, 2022, was my first year here, (doing the original SoCal 6-Pack).  I ended up on a backpacking trip, (Rush Creek Trail) in June which changed the trajectory of my life.  Long story short, here I am back here in 2023, but this time I'm in the Bay Area doing the SF challenge. “Life moves pretty fast.  If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  (Ferris Bueller)
