Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: Those Were the Days

It’s finally May, meaning summer is almost here…I hope! Looking back to summers of the past, I remember doing some pretty wild and wooly things as a kid growing up in Tustin, which is in the O.C. between us and the Pacific Coast. When young teens, we were a bicycle...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott – Thunderstruck

It’s not too often that you get thunder and lightning around these parts but, good grief Charlie Brown, last weekend’s thunder and lightning storm, along with hail, was what I like to call, “gnarly.” Reminds me of growing up in the OC back in the 60s, when we had...
