Travel

There's a time for everything . . . Henrie and Mikayla dated briefly during 2020. They broke things off and decided to give each other some space with the open-ended option of becoming friends again. Each of them then went into their freshman year of college. Time passed, and the two naturally started seeking out each other's company again. A few casual hang-outs here and there. Henrie took the first big step: he arranged a day-trip to San Diego for Mikayla's 19th birthday. The two had a wonderful time . . . perhaps something is in the works here . . .

Strawberry Peak lookout is an active fire lookout, open 7 days a week. Climb the three flights of metal stairs, and you are greeted by the fire lookout volunteer, who will show you around and answer any questions. The view is unbeatable; on a clear day, you can even see the ocean!
