canyonwalkerWe're heading out of town this evening after work. It's just a quick trip— we're taking Friday off from work to make a three-day weekend.
"Didn't we just have a three day weekend (Independence Day) two weeks ago?" you might ask. "And another (Memorial Day) a few weeks before that?" Yes and yes, though on both those holiday weekends we canceled our trips at the last moment. 😨 The first was because of a flight delay that wrecked the schedule; the second because of extreme weather.
Tonight we'll avoid flight delays by driving; and this weekend looks to be beautiful weather in the Sierra Nevada, where we're headed, with daytime highs around 80. It's warmer that that in Folsom, where we'll be stopping for the night tonight, but that's understandable because it's in the Central Valley at the foot of the Sierra. Tomorrow morning we'll continue on up into the mountains, where it'll be cooler. After being stymied on recent outdoors trips we're really looking forward to this one!
