Raw 'til 4
2022-09-01 - 2022-09-30
This is a month long journey that I (Onyeka Tefari) will be embarking on. I have previously done shorter bouts of this challenge, but it’s a new month. With the way that I have been eating and the realization/acceptance or some of my vices… It is time for me to attempt to detox from some of my bad habits. If you would like to join in, definitely leave a comment, and/or join this Facebook Group to jump in the discussion!
How does it work? (and my modifications)
The premise is pretty simple, you only consume raw fruits and vegetables upon waking up until 4:00PM daily. Since I am doing this for the entire month, and I know myself… I am building a few adjustments (for me). I am adding herbal teas to the mix. Technically they are infusions, but they will be a part of my daily consumption. They are caffeine free (unless I drink green tea). If I do drink green tea, I will ensure that I double my water intake and only have green tea early in the morning to avoid disruption to my sleep schedule. I may add cashews or walnuts, but those would be limited to within 1 hour of 4:00, and only 3 times a week.
Obviously this is how I plan on doing this for me, and you are more than free to adjust this for your needs. Your primary intake should be raw until 4 though.
Right now this is a virtual event with the opportunity to build in some meet ups depending on interests. Feel free to lend any support you can give.

One of San Diego’s most popular hikes, the Iron Mountain Trail leads to the second highest peak in Poway and offers great views of Northern San Diego County. On a clear day, hikers can see Mt.

There is no shade on this hike so bring plenty of water and sunscreen.
The trail starts flat along a wide sandy trail heading east, eventually getting steeper. There are some very rocky and washed-out sections, so sturdy boots are recommended. Hikers soon reach the Ellie Lane Trail and take a right towards Iron Mountain. There are numerous switchbacks before reaching the summit. Visitors can also access the Wildwood Mountain and Ellie Lane hiking trails from the Iron Mountain trailhead.
Head out on this 5.9-mile out-and-back trail near Poway, California. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 h 52 min to complete.

Hiking San Diego: Three Sisters Falls Trail
2022-10-04 08:00 - 17:00 | Three Sisters Fall, San Diego, CA, United States
Three Sisters Falls is a great hike for rock scramble lovers and a popular waterfall destination in the Cleveland National Forest of Southern California. The falls slow to a trickle in the late summer months but the views are incredible year round! Hikers will find a variety of native desert plants and lots of animal life. Start early or late in the day as it gets hot, bring lots of water, and use caution as this is a challenging hike that involves scrambling, rock traversing— particularly if hiking to the third waterfall or traversing the rocky bottom. This route is not recommended for kids or dogs due to these sections. The trail has been greatly improved and rerouted so ropes are no longer needed.
An adventure pass is required to be displayed in vehicles when using the Forest for recreation purpose. Information about where to purchase day/multi-day/annual passes can be found here.
