I am very excited to announce that I just received a small package filled to the brim with Summit Stones.
Early on in this small world of hike-blogging, one of the first and most dependably great sites I stumbled upon was DSD’s Summit Stones & Adventure Musings. The closest thing our little online group has to a wandering sage, DSD painstakingly handpaints outdoor scenes on stones, then leaves them at summits for other hikers to discover and interpret.
It’s a project I have always loved, but never thought I’d be a part of — as DSD’s haunts are more up in the Pacific Northwest. But now I am excited and very proud to be the SoCal Operative in this ongoing project of his. I’ll now be spreading some Summit Stones along my various routes and tracks, and hopefully inspiring other hikers to stop and enjoy their surroundings in a new way.
Keep your eye open on those San Gabriel summits. You might stumble across one of these little beauties.
Many, many thanks to DSD for looping me in on this!

Hi Casey,
I appreciate your thoughts and your enthusiasm in being part of the karma of this little endeavor. There have only been a very few others who have shared in this, yet there are so many elusive summits and trails out there…
Some of our fellow adventurers will have a smile on their face thanks to your journeys and efforts…
Hope to see you on the path one day…
DSD
Casey – that’s awesome…I love the Summit Stones, the stories, and the excitement from the finders…have fun spreading the mountain karma out there.
