Hiking By Myself

8 am sharp at the stake enter. No one came. I waited until 10 after and headed to the trail head. What a great hike. It wasn't too hot today and the loop I did was a pretty easy hike. I started at 9 am and came out at 1145. I even stopped to eat a snack along the way. Well, I hope to do this again and may be next time other women (and men too) can join me!

Summary: Ascending the sagey, rocky spirals of the Bear Canyon Trail, one is quickly elevated from the depths of nearby suburban mundanity and raucous street noise to the heights of blissful backcountry nirvana-yes, this really does exist in the proximity of O.C.!! This trail, located just off Hwy 74 and near the famous and friendly Ortega Oaks Candy Store, has something for every serious dayhiker. Quiet awaits at the border of the San Mateo Cyn Wilderness about .75 miles into the hike. A mile beyond, after turning right at the junction with the Morgan Tr., the magnificence of over-the-shoulder views escalates with the elevation-it's workout time!! Two miles later, a sign marks the beginning of the loop "balloon:" turn right for more shade while hiking uphill 1-1/4 miles to Four Corners (just beyond the gate)-turn left here and proceed another 1-1/4 mi. (Bear Cyn Ridge Tr. on the topo, now signed Bear Cyn Loop) to complete the loop, then continue back 2 mi. to the trailhead.
Trailhead: From San Juan Capistrano, along Interstate 5, exit at Ortega Highway/Highway 74, and travel northeast. After 21 miles, turn left across from the Ortega Oaks Country Cottage (Candy Store), which is located .5 miles north of the Upper San Juan Campground, and park in the large lot for the Bear Canyon and San Juan Loop Trailheads. A Forest Service Adventure Pass is required to park here, and can be purchased in the Candy Store. The Bear Canyon Loop Trailhead is located west of the Candy Store (to the right as you are facing the store from the parking lot across the street). (Lat:33.61228 Lon:-117.42643)

Once upon a time a very strong woodcutter asked for a job from a timber merchant, and he got it. The paid was really good and so were the work conditions. For that reason, the woodcutter was determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work. The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees "Congratulations," the boss said. "Go on that way!" Very motivated from the boss' words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he only could bring 15 trees. The third day he try even harder, but he only could bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. "I must be losing my strength", the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on. "When was the last time you sharpened your axe?" the boss asked. "Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees..."

     We are all "busy" and we try our best to do everything that needs to be done.  But, do we take the time to "sharpen our axe"?  

     Take the time to read your scriptures, pray daily.  There are times that you are just too tired and  do not want to add one more thing  on your daily list.  But develop a habit, ask for help during prayer, search the scriptures carefully as you read, ponder what you have read and be sensitive to the holy ghost, write about significant insights you have received while studying the scriptures and express gratitude in prayer for the opportunity to read the scriptures.

•     President Gordon B. Hinckley meant when he said: “I am grateful for the emphasis on reading the scriptures. I hope that for you this will become something far more enjoyable than a duty; that, rather, it will become a love affair with the word of God. I promise you that as you read, your minds will be enlightened and your spirits will be lifted. At first it may seem tedious, but that will change into a wondrous experience with thoughts and words of things divine.”
