Interactive Travel: Mount Whitney One-Day Climb (Attempt!)

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 29, 2010 Hiking

ShareOK, so this next destination is not so much “travel” as “adventure”. This is how I must view an attempt at climbing Mt. Whitney in one day if I am to endure the blisters, fatigue, discomfort, dehydration, exhaustion…wow, are you envious yet? haha! I am putting it out there for my readers to offer tips, […]

Family Fun and Faire Fare

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark July 6, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareFirstly, please don’t leave me because of my alliteration addiction. Addicts need love, too. Evidently, we also need to indulge in carb, fat and sugar laden treats whose visions and aromas waft unjustly to our senses at any county fair worth it’s salt. Oh yes, salted goodies, too, tempt the palate. This is not the […]

Hiking Stats: The Fall of SuuperG

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 26, 2010 Hiking

Share“Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects.” Dave Barry It was bound to happen. Especially on one of the most pristinely beautiful hiking days one could ever ask for! I slipped on some wet rocks and fell – hard – on my knee and had to hobble […]

Hiking: Looking for a Castle, and Discovering a Grotto

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 21, 2010 Hiking

ShareI love serendipity. In this case, there was literally dipity-ing involved. What’s a grotto without a dip? Just like a naked chip, I tell you! My hubby and I had planned for weeks to hike to what is called “Knapp’s Castle” in the hills of Santa Barbara and we set out to do just that […]

Auntie Fail #38: Lapping Kids at the Go-Cart Track

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 14, 2010 Random Ponderings

Share“She’s gotten three speeding tickets!” my 7-year-old nephew, Collin, announces in reference to his Aunt Gina (ahem) while en route to the track. I think I did an Auntie Fail. :\ I couldn’t help it! It wasn’t my fault! We know I have a penchant for speed, (see Pushing My Prius ) and my family […]

Hiking Stats: A Walk in the Park (State Park!)

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark June 10, 2010 Hiking

ShareOK, so, I considered not mentioning my recent hikes because they have all been about 5 miles each, about 1500 feet elevation gain and no real progress towards my Twitter Team Mera goals (except I do think my fitness is increasing!) I have been carrying 20 plus pounds in my pack each time and it […]

On the Road Again – with Belly Dancers !?!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 31, 2010 Belly Dance

ShareRoad trips are always an adventure. But gather five friends who belly dance together and you get a whole new synergy. Here we all were, up in Sebastopol, California for a belly dance convention, and we decided to take a side jaunt in our little trusty rental car to the coast. Several of us were […]

Hiking Stats: Nature Makes Me a Fool

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 22, 2010 Hiking

Share“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.” John Muir I love hiking. I may have mentioned this before but it’s my blog so I’m allowed to repeat myself. 🙂 I have some very fine and savvy hiking friends who have even taught mountaineering courses with the Sierra Club and they have outlined strict guidelines […]

Morocco Memories: Donkey Park n’ Rides, Fish Juice & Unexpected Beauty

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 17, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareBefore we go on, I must confess to a big mistake…HUGE! I didn’t bring my camera to Morocco. Sighhhh. My friend was going to bring her less expensive camera for us to use, but oops! she forgot to remove all her old photos from the card and didn’t have a charged battery. Ha! Isn’t that […]

New Zealand: Lamb Squeezing

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark May 6, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareNo, it’s not some new, esoteric form of carnivorous culinaria. 😉 Rather, I wanted – needed – to cuddle one of the darling cotton ball creatures ambling along on the hillsides since I stepped out of Auckland proper on my lucky visit there: When winds are soft, And the days are warm and clear, Just […]

Tongue-In-Cheeky Travel Tip: The Key to Pleasing Parisians

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 27, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI shall try not to bite my tongue. And Pleasing Parisians? That there’s a triple entendre: 1) “pleasing” as a verb 2) “pleasing” as an adjective and 3) “please-ing” as in saying “please” I know I know, it’s a national pastime here in the states to gripe and moan about how very ruuuude the French […]

I Live in Paradise. End of Discussion!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark April 15, 2010 Hiking

ShareOK, this is not to say I’m not happy for you if you have found your own paradise. But I guess that’s just it, isn’t it? Paradise is subjective. It’s not even necessarily a locale. It is most definitely also a state of mind. But for today’s discussion 😉 I will confine (what a sad […]
