Torrey Pines Hike

May 5th, 2008 achen

On Thursday, Assay Depot took a hike through the Torrey Pines State Reserve. Our three conferences were marketing successes and yielded what seemed like nonstop mornings and nights of hard work, so we decided to take an afternoon off. The reserve is home to one of the rarest pines in the world, the Torrey Pine.

It is probably one of the few natural reserves in the state where you can also get superior mobile phone reception.

There is a path from the frontyard of our office that leads right to the coast. It was an enjoyable two mile walk on what was an unmatched spring day. However, mild treachery did arise. It seemed that some parts of the path were constructed for hobbits. Had Frodo only gone through this path while being chased by the henchmen of Sauron, he would have guaranteed his safety.

A three foot high tunnel. No horses allowed.

Thankfully, this treachery only lasted for about one minute and paled in comparison to the blooming shrubbery, cactus, and black beetles of Mother Earth.

After an hour, we made it to the coast.

We are seen here relaxing around refreshments and string cheese.

Sorry, but no boogie boarding, wakeboarding, or surfing. However, if you know us, you know that anything can happen. Stay tuned!
