Walter Trout has been nothing short of prolific over the course of his seven decades on this Earth. He’s set to release his 29th solo album over a career that has spanned the globe, and delivered notoriety as one of the great purveyors of the blues and blues rock. Trout’s history is equal parts thriller, romance, suspense and horror. There are musical fireworks, critical acclaim and fists-aloft triumph, offset by wilderness years, brushes with the jaws of narcotic oblivion, and the survival of an organ transplant few come back from. From 1973, when he left his New Jersey home headed to Los Angeles, he has followed a road that afforded him an opportunity to just play, sharing the stage as a sideman with Jesse Ed Davis, Big Mama Thornton, John Lee Hooker, Lowell Fulson, Joe Tex, and of course the great John Mayall (following a three year tenure in Canned Heat).

The Great San Diego Scavenger Hunt – A Citywide Search for Good Times Invites Participants to “Be Part of the Greatest Adventure San Diego has Ever Seen” The city of sun and fun has a new way to get active and explore San Diego with the first annual Great San Diego Scavenger Hunt on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2022. Participants are invited to gather their most intrepid pals for the adventure of a lifetime throughout the City. In teams of four players, attendees will explore hidden gems and local haunts of San Diego’s most beloved neighborhoods while supporting small businesses. Scavenger Hunt teams will explore across San Diego and complete puzzles in classic San Diego neighborhoods like Hillcrest, the Gaslamp Quarter, Adams Avenue, North Park, and many others. Some of the puzzles may be difficult, like tracking down a gourmet donut, while others will be simple, like snapping a selfie at Hillcrest's Mural Alley. The Great San Diego Scavenger Hunt will kick off at 8AM at the North Park Mini Park and will take to the streets promptly thereafter, with participating neighborhoods offering five to seven scavenger hunt stops within their area, completing missions at each stop. Participants will want to bring their thinking caps as this scavenger hunt will put even the most resourceful to the test! Through deciphering clever riddles, teasing tongue twisters, pop quizzes, and more, teams will gain points to see who will have the chance of being at the top at the end of the hunt. Missions will be a mix of the following submissions: Photo, Video, Text, and GPS Check-In. Each mission will be assigned a difficulty level and corresponding point value. Extra bonus points will be awarded to teams and individuals that display creativity, flair, and resourcefulness during game play and for those who opt for extra challenges like completing the Missions in heels or traveling through the course on bike. Participants will receive a free swag bag with fresh socks, Great SD Scavenger Hunt backpack, energy kit with snacks, and a first aid kit. Once the hunt is over, official Great San Diego Scavenger Hunt afterparty venues will offer food and drink specials from 5-7 p.m. that evening. Venues will host live leaderboard scores, highlight reels, and virtual awards ceremonies where winners are crowned in a variety of categories.
