Kylee had a field trip to Grassy Hollow last Monday. I was able to go thanks to our friend Jay who was able to watch Jacob for the Day!

The animals that have been taxidermied all have their own story behind them. his mountain was hit by a car on the 138 and weighed 175 lbs.

The Brown Bear was a trash bear and they tried to train him to stay in the forest and eat berries but he kept coming back. they even tried to relocate him to Big Bear but within 24 hours he was back eating in the picnic area in Wrightwood.

The kids sat on this log while learning the about the "HUG A TREE" survival if they ever get lost in the forest from a rescue searcher. Hug a tree (stay in one place), make yourself big (lying down and moving, using rocks, sticks to make and HUGE X or SOS) for a helicopter to see, make noise (having a whistle is a must on a hike). Good to know, and animals don't like noise!

So who wants to hike to Canada or Mexico with me? Just kidding but I thought it was amazing that people actually come and do this!

It was freezing..we actually were hiking by snow still on the ground. It cleared up a little in the afternoon. We were above all the fog likely. It was a good day!
