Sisterhood Camping Retreat (SPRING 2026)

Black Mountain Wilderness Rock Art District Day Trip **high clearance off-road**

Drive 395 will make its second trip to the Black Mountain Wilderness! Located in San Bernardino in the Mojave Desert, the Black Mountain Wilderness Route is known as an easy trail that transitions from a sandy Desert terrain to a rocky mountainous terrain. We will traverse a dry lake bed, visit the Black Canyon and Inscription Canyon petroglyph sites, drive through the Opal Mine site as well as visit the Scouts Cove tuffa cave. onX Offroad has this route listed as Easy with 4 wheel drive being mandatory. Each vehicle should be self-sufficient with proper recovery gear, camping equipment, gps, food and water. As there will be no bathroom facilities in the vicinity, each participant must bring their own bathroom and washroom equipment. Everything we pack in, we will pack out, and we will follow the leave no trace philosophy. I am trying to keep the group limited to 5 rigs just to keep the logistics more manageable. If there is a larger interest, we can revisit the group size. As the date nears, I will post more details and checklists so we can make sure everyone who attends will know what to expect and have a good time! This is a family-friendly trip, and, as such, for the comfort and safety of all in attendance, there will be no firearms allowed, and rowdy behavior or excessive drinking will not be tolerated. Rain will cancel the trip.

Lake Skinner Wine Tasting Bicycle Camping Tour

Two-day, self-supported bike-touring trip with winery stops and camping for beginner long-distance riders; aim: complete a loop and camp overnight.

Learn rock climbing with a professional guide (Joshua Tree, date open)

Ready to unleash your inner Alex Honnold in a safe way with an AMGA-certified climbing instructor? No experience is necessary and these will be easy routes. You just need a sense of adventure and to be OK with heights. We'll chip in on a professional guide for as low as $125 per person (if there are four of us). The date is open, depending on what works for everyone. Due to no-shows, everyone joins the waiting list and to get off it you need to leave a comment with some good dates for you. **ADDED:** Please note that, as usual, everything is up in the air and open to negotiation (Keith Richards: "I never plan anything, which is probably the difference between Mick and myself. Mick needs to know what he's gonna do tomorrow and I'm just happy to wake up.") So, this could be a full day or a half day. Weekends are much better for me than weekdays, but I could do it on a weekday if that works best. I'm not taking a cut, you'll pay me and then I'll pay the guides. The guides will be in charge of everything, I'll just be along for the ride. (You'll have to take care of tipping the guides yourself, after the event.) Here's a sample price list: https://www.mojaveguides.com/rock-climbing If we shuttle into the park I'll use my pass so you don't need to pay park admission (unless you have a pass of your own, of course). You only need one pass per car, not per person. If you want to practice climbing beforehand that might be a good thing but I don't think it's necessary. Knowing how to tie a figure 8 and other popular knots is always a good thing. Hangar 18 in Arcadia has autobelays and you just clip in. So, you don't need a partner and you don't need to learn any knots, and they have some relatively easy routes. They're primarily a bouldering gym. The Post in Pasadena is 2x+ as high but you'll need a partner who's passed their belay test (they claim they'll offer to match you with someone). I assume they have at least a few easier routes. They have an intro class for $40 (you want the Top Rope one, not Bouldering or Lead).
