SCV Outdoor Report

    SCV Outdoor Report: The Fish Are Biting

    By Wendy Langhans

    When it comes to fishing, I am the laughing stock of my family.  My father and brother are avid outdoorsmen, so fishing is second nature to them.  My mother loved to fish, and she often took my sister and I with her.  So I learned how to bait a hook; I learned how to watch bobbers for the telltale nibble.  But, for the life of me, I could never learn how to set the hook.  More often that not, the fish got away.  I was a total fishing failure.

    SCV Outdoor Report: Take a Hike

    By Wendy Langhans

    People hike for all sorts of reasons.  Some hike to savor the world. They seek the thrill of understanding.  Some hike to experience the world.  They seek the thrill of adventure.  And some do both.  This week’s SCV Outdoor report is geared for those who are seeking adventure.

     

    SCV Outdoor Report: Bee Hoppy

    By Wendy Langhans

    Blatz, Schlitz, Hamms, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Heileman’s Old Style, Leinenkugel - names I remember from my childhood in Wisconsin.  When my dad asked me to “fetch him a beer”, I usually sneaked a sip before delivering it to him.  It tasted somewhat bitter and grown-up - definitely not the kid-friendly sweet taste of Kool-aid.

    SCV Outdoor Report: Poodle-Dog Bush

    By Wendy Langhans

    After several days of “June gloom”, the sun finally came out.  Time to ditch the worked piled up on my desk and go for a mind-clearing walk along the nearby paseo.  I was enjoying my walk when my eye caught a flash of color - a lavender-colored plant - that looked to be about 9-10 feet tall. “What on earth....?”  I’ve walked along this path too many times to count, but I had never noticed this plant before.  I decided to check it out.

     

    SCV Outdoor Report: A Most Peculiar Plant

    By Wendy Langans

    I was driving in the mountains in the Angeles National Forest the other day, when a patch of red caught my eye.  So I found a safe spot and pulled over to take a look.  There, about 10-15 feet up the steep rock wall, were several patches of Canyon Liveforever (Dudleya cymosa) that had managed to establish themselves among the rock’s nooks and crannies.

    SCV Outdoor Report: Groovy, Baby!

    Feeling groovy...

     

    Toothpaste - part of the morning bathroom ritual. You open the tube and turn it down at an angle, but nothing flows out of it until you squeeze it. Then the toothpaste just sits there, a colorful blob on your toothbrush. Did you ever wonder why it doesn’t flow off your toothbrush?
