to any around Southern California

The nature conservancy at Oak Glen is a great hike and has a lot of stones to lift and make it interesting. These are some I picked up but there are some that could really give the true beasts out there opportunities to enjoy them.

This was the first I'm guessing around 100 pounds.

The fourth surprised me as I should have broken it off the ground first. It looked heavier than the third but it went up incredibly easy.
I debated lifting some Hiland cattle but the bull didn't look like he was amused by the suggestion

That bull might try and lift you.

I kind of got that impression

I'm not into athletic things, but what I would like to find here in SoCal is somewhere I can play my pipes without bothering anybody.

At home is hopeless- my wife works fulltime from home and my daughter is taking online classes. Prior to the lockdown I was Home Alone fairly regularly. Now, never.

We'll be out this weekend again. I sing while I'm there although I'm sure pipes carry better than my singing. Still I have heard pipes there. I'm pretty sure one of the original owner's sons Timothy Riley plays them (I think he has done one of the local pipe bands)and I can't imagine the conservancy would object. So if you want I'll ask.

I know Tim Riley! I used to play in a band with him.

Talented guy on several instruments.

My understanding was that he lived in a rural area, where he could play without bothering anybody. I could be wrong.

I'm in suburbia! It's difficult.
