This podcast is about how I prepare for a day hike, how I come up with the spectacular locations and destinations and what I bring with me on my hikes and why. Follow along with me as I describe my gear that I brought with me on my latest hike to visit the Devil's Chair.  Don't forget to head over to my web page at www.anthonysaudiojournal.com to visit the links and get more information about Andrew Skurka's Gear List or what the 10 essentials really are.

This podcast is about a winter day hike to visit the Devil's Punchbowl and the scenic sights from the Devil's Chair, a peninsula of rock overlooking the Devil's Punchbowl, a mass of twisted rocks near the San Andreas Fault Zone.  In this edition I led a group of 8 energetic hikers from the visitor's center over the Burkhart Trail to the Devil's Punchbowl Trail.  We crossed over a couple of sparkling icy creeks and met a friendly hiker who took time to chat with us on the trail.

Also in this episode I talk about the history of the Devil's Punchbowl County Park, the San Andreas Fault and throw in a little bit of music, movie clips and informational audio about the region.
