On the 13th, helped entertain Laura's friends from Holland. Attempting to meet her at the beach, I waited in wrong place and got an alchohol-in-restricted-area citation. Had we been on beach instead of grass, wouldn't have gotten the ticket, and would have actually connected with Laura! Not a good day!

On the 14h went to Santee Drive-in with Laura. We saw Apollo 13 and Zorro, but were pretty tired by end of Zorro. It was a bit chilly(in August!) and we also had to contend with windows fogging up. L.C. brought some nice vittles.

First hike with Laura was Cold Stream to Los Caballos to Stonewall Peak.

Did a 6 mile hike to Penasquitos Falls with Laura.

On the 8th, purchased 3 t-shirts at O.T.L.

Mari saw Kareem was signing autographs at sporting goods store near the sports arena, so grabbed a couple basketballs, drove down, and had him sign them for the kids

When Paco and Lizzy came by this month, Paco and I went exploring. We drove over to S-2, and went south. We drove up Oriflamme Canyon a bit, then went down to Canebrake, cut over to Arroyo Tapiado, topped out of this wash, and drove down Devil's drop-off. Drove up to Sandstone Canyon, and returned via Split Mountain.

On the 12th, apparently had lunch at La Casa. Probably associated with tennis tournament.
