What better way to throw yourself into this warm, sunny weekend than by watching an epic backpacking video from a rainy weekend in the Santa Monica Mountains?

Reader and YouTube user Cincinnati Jones produced this fun trail video during the rainy season and just left it in the comments section of my Mishe Mokwa Trail write up. Hopefully it will inspire you to get out in the trail in these much better weather conditions.
