Tonight Julia, James and I headed to a free public function given through Inside the Outdoors Foundation. It was an Astronomy Hike. Mostly the hike was geared to school aged children, but I got a kick out of it and was happy to hike in the dark with no moon in sight. The hike was minor, down hill with switchbacks and flashlights in tow. It took about 45 minutes to get our night vision. Our guide Jordan told us stories of Orion and The Seven Sisters. Later, Julia told me that was her favorite part, seeing the constellations and hearing the stories about them. After the hike we climbed up to where the OC Astronomy Club member had setup their telescopes and took a peek into them. My favorite was Saturn. Pretty cool!
