It's been a while since I've done any hiking or camping! I miss it very much. I remember when I was in my 20's, I totally turned my back on outdoor activities like that - which is pretty weird considering it's such a part of who I am now. I guess we all go through times in our life when we search for who we are and what we enjoy...
At any rate, I do get outdoors every day, it's just that right now, I'm in the city! Los Angeles is wonderful and Marina del Rey even better. I get the big city and the beach at my doorstep. There are a
LOT of people here!!! So when I go on my runs, in my mind I'm thinking back to my Denver Half-Marathon training and running on the back trails at Grand Canyon National Park. Dirt roads, Mule Deer, Elk, the occasional Mountain Lion - and human. ;) Now that was a cool place to run - and hike, and backpack, and - everything!
Yesterday (Sunday) I went for an extended run to the end of the harbor here in MdR. I took some photos! It's not a drawing or a sketch, but I hope you'll forgive me for that!

Welcome to my world - where a trail is a state of mind! :D Happy Journeys!!
