- Hiking in the Rain: On Tuesday, Heather Waldroup '10, Kaya Lindsay '11, and Chelsea
Young '13, celebrated the first rainfall of the school year by joining
Ian Cummings for a wet, windy hike in the Los Padres Forest. The
hikers descended the Davy Brown Trail through Fir Canyon to Sunset
Valley Road and proceeded up the road to the Munch Canyon Trail, which
they climbed until reconnecting with Davy Brown. The eight-mile
journey required 2000' of climbing on the return, made a bit more
arduous by waterlogged clothing and mud-laden boots. The entire party
enjoyed the afternoon, and everyone was happy to return to a hot shower
and a plate of ravioli.
