. Purisima Creek Trail (smells great)

We went for a hike with Diane and found a disturbing number of ladybugs. And a crashed beehive.

. Point Reyes

Stalked by seals with the Lessards. Photos here.

. Reset 1962

Last weekend I navigated the Hodgson-Lessard party on a 6 mile hike through Tilden Park in Berkeley, and got us lost only twice.

. Cardiac Insult

The 10-mile Dipsea Trail to Stinson Beach climbs in & out of heavy fog as you hike between the Muir Woods valley floor, Cardiac Hill, Insult Hill, & the sea shore. There is no hiding from the overall 4,400-foot elevation change.

This viewpoint is where I left my knee caps.

. Crossed a Bridge

. Went Up a Mountain

No sign of Jesus.

. Mount Tamalpais

1800 elevation-foot hike up to Mt. Tam.

First training hike with Diane to prepare for this year's Grand Canyon expedition & to avoid embarrassing her with another Death Valley incident (see below).
