This weekend had been all about camping and trekking. Emily, Sheila, Tina, Daniel and I went to the Mt. Baldy area. Mt. Baldy proper name is Mt. San Antonio. It is a 10,000+ ft (i.e. 3,000+ meters) mountain just south of LA. Never been here before. So it is all new for all of us. Campground was really nice ...
We saw also this wonderful and colourful butterfly in the area of our tent ...
... and as it happens 99% of the time here in US, there is always the BBQ area, but no showers what's so ever ...
The proper hike will be on Sunday. We will attempt the Mt. Baldy summit, but as a warm up we did a 3 hour light hike today, around 5,000ft. We did it in the afternoon, so it was pretty warm, but it was fun. Here some pictures ...

... after that a gourmet dinner provided by our two English Angels (AKA Daniel & Emily) we had an early bed time. The earlier we get into the trail on Sunday morning, the better it is.
