Intro: James

Hello fellow socal hikers! Been lurking on the site and the forums for the last couple of months, decided I should finally say hi. Over the last few years, the family vacations have included quite a number of national parks. I've managed to get in some decent day hikes (moderate level) during this stretch, but really wanted to do more. I'm also looking for something to help me keep my fitness up. My days of being able to referee soccer are wearing on the 53 year old joints, so I'm looking for something lower impact but still outdoors. A friend of mine and I are going to tackle Mt. Wilson tomorrow (5/11). Hopefully it's the prelude to the six-pack. James
