Ever get the urge to pee in a bush?

Go a day without brushing your teeth?

Eat only meat for dinner?

Burn everything you can find?

Well, if you don't, then you are not a man, and you would not have liked our overnight hike to Dobbs cabin in the San Bernardino mountains.

Our group consisted of: (From Left to Right)

Dane Winkelman, his son Jet, Cory Ferguson, Matt Horspool & Jason Tang

Jet is only three, but he still made the trek... of course, that's not too hard when your dad is half man, half amazing. Dane carried Jet on his shoulders for most of the way, with us giving him a break every now and then.

The hike wasn't very long, only about two miles in, but it was a very steep climb. The base of the mountain started out dry, but the higher up we got the more snow, and the more wet we got.

When we arrived at our campsite, we quickly made a fire so we could dry our all our clothes and start cookin' up our meal.

On the menu -- T-Bone steaks a la Winkelman.

What's that mean? Seasoned steaks, skewered and cooked over an open flame.

This one is a la Tang. Cooked on the hot rock. Good if you like your steak rare!

Unfortunately, steaks weren't the only things cookin'. Dane and my shoes ended up a little too well done.

The next morning we did a little fishing, and Dane was the only one that caught anything. He caught a small little trout (I think), and a little lizard that Jet loved.

Going down the mountain was pretty fun too. We did a little shoe skiing.

Looking forward to the next one!
