Welcome to Joe's Place
The Place to go if you're in the know


You like hiking?
You like photography?
You like cool events?
This is the place.
You'll find all of those and more!

I try to do a hike every couple of weeks.
Since I work 6 days a week, it's hard to go more often.
I'll try to update the blog more often than that, although not too often.
There's no sense in posting an entry that tells you what I had for breakfast and how many times I scratched my ass!

I'm steadily working away at posting pics and organizing this. 
Also, writing up the hikes takes a lot of work, especially for the older hikes that I haven't done in a while. 

BLOG

The Blog will keep you up to date with what's going on, any hikes I've done, and any upcoming hikes. You're welcome to join most any of the upcoming hikes, if you want.
The Blog will contain some pictures and a link to the rest of the pics as well as a link to the hike itself.
I'll try to update it at least once a week.

HIKES

The Hikes page will contain the hike itself, on the left side of the page; along with directions to get there, and directions to do the hike, on the right side of the page.
There will be some photo's, of course, usually in the order I took them. 
Eventually, I'm also going to include 'Day-Trips' and 'Events' in this section, also. These will often be longer trips, overnighters, day trips without much hiking, or events, as the name implies.
The 'Folsom Street Fair' or 'Dream Machines,' would be two examples of those.
Also, I'm going to include a 'Guest Hikes' page, as soon as anyone writes in with their favorite hikes. Use the contact form below to submit any hikes you've done. Give directions, photo's, and tell us a little about the hike itself.
Unfortunately, I only get to go hiking once or twice a month, but I do have lots of old stuff to sort through and post.

PHOTOGRAPHY

In this section you will find a much larger assortment of the pics from any particular trip.
These may be in any order, although I am working on numbering them so I can locate them more easily.
There's also a 'Selfies' page which I definitely recommend. It shows quite an assortment of the things I've done since July 2005.
