I see that Gambolin’ Man has posted another trip report, this time on Point Reyes National Seashore.
These posts are interesting, and a bit different from the typical blog trip reports. Those tend to be heavy on photos (and Gambolin’ Man includes a bunch) but somewhat shorter on narrative - and there is a lot of [...]
Correction: I just saw that the road did not open today… It will apparently open on WEDNESDAY. Sorry!
Just a few days late for me - I was up that way late last week - Tioga Pass has opened will open this Wednesday, at least according to a story in the West Coast Imaging Blog. Let [...]

After not going there for some time, yesterday I made it back to Almaden Quicksilver County Park for a hike up the Deep Gulch Trail to the ridge near the old mine buildings. I like this trail because it is a very direct route, heading pretty much [...]
