The Royal Rangers group from church organized a family hike at Missions Trails Regional Park. One of the leaders has gone through a detailed training process from Mission Trails and is now an official guide at the park. He led the group around the "Old Mission Dam" where Mike and the kids went to the event. They started pretty close to the area of the dam and were given great information about the park and the dam and the original Padres (Franciscan friars) who came to San Diego and oversaw this project.

Rachel knows where they are going .. water.
