Last Day of Summer…
… and it felt much more like fall today. It rained - which is a bit unusual for central California this time of year - and it was cool. I hiked at Almaden Quicksilver Park and walked through newly fallen autumn leaves and past meadows filled with golden dry grass. It sure didn’t feel like [...]
Bad News About Arctic Ice Pack
From the New York Times (but also reported widely elsewhere):
Scientists Report Severe Retreat of Arctic Ice. The cap of floating sea ice on the Arctic Ocean this year shrank more than one million square miles below the average minimum area reached in recent decades. By ANDREW C. REVKIN. [NYT > Home Page]
Tioga Pass Snow - September 21, 2007

As for me, continuing my theme of visiting the shoreline, yesterday I spent a day at Point Reyes National Seashore. More on this [...]
Breakfast on the Trail
After seeing this morning’s Trailcraft post about breakfast I thought I’d offer my thoughts about breakfast on the trail.
For years I’ve valued simplicity above fanciness when it comes to trail meals, and breakfast is no exception. I’m generally uninterested in spending a lot of trail time preparing food. My standard breakfast has long been [...]
Anatomy of a Sierra Nevada ‘Aspen Blitz’
It is September - actually it may October when you read this - and time to chase the aspens in the eastern Sierra. I made my first serious attempt of the year yesterday. Here’s how the madness unfolded…
On Friday night - pack stuff for the day, including enough gear that I could stay out overnight [...]
