Hike: Mt. Zion via Chantry Flats-Winter Creek (Spring)

By |2023-07-07T22:41:24-07:00Feb 5, 2020 - Wednesday|Hikes, Travel|

Read: 4 mins. Here’s one of Michael’s favorite, challenging, but fairly short hikes… Mt. Zion (with SPRING schedule)! It is JUST challenging enough to feel you have had a tough workout, but not as strenuous as hiking to the Mt. Wilson Observatory. It is also only a half-day hike. This somewhat tough hike is open to ANYONE.

Read: 18 mins. After having evaluated two solar charging battery stations for my friends and I for emergency use and camping, the nrgGo 400 recently caught my attention. It is the first one made by a US-based, Fortune 500 energy company that provides power for homes and businesses to millions of customers. How does it compare to the ones I had previously reviewed? I learned so much.

Read: 2 mins. As an IT Systems Engineer, I am often asked who the Members of particular Active Directory groups are. There are multiple ways to retrieve that information, including LDAP, PowerShell, and the "AD Users and Computers tool". However, did you know that since Windows 7, there is a built-in tool to search Active Directory for Users, Groups, and Computers? Here is how.
