Drive me 'wild

Today after we got off work, JP and I took an early morning trip to Idyllwild. It's a town about an hour away on the other side of the mountains where you can bet that it's a good 20-30 degrees cooler - and with no trace of palm trees or desert. The streets are filled with beautiful cabins and houses, small businesses and charming cafes.

We went to breakfast where it would seem everyone knows your name and then headed for the hills.We messed around on the Devils Slide Trail, but didn't go too far because my car doesn't have a park permit just yet. It's definitely on my list of trails to conquer. Just a nice half day trip, and then went home to sleep almost until work started again.

It'd be a sweet town to live in someday. A little touristy in some areas, but mostly relaxing, quiet and artsy. For sure it'd be a place to have a cabin. They do get snow there, so it'll be fun to see in the next few months.
