Well, last week on Friday I did the Devil's Slide trip.
That was a lot of fun, although quite easy.
No elevation gain whatsoever, (300' doesn't count! That's only about a 30 story building!)
They just opened it Thursday, but I forgot to take my camera to work with me so I had to wait until Friday.
Sunday, Jerry and I went and did the Matt Davis - Steep Ravine Loop Trail up in Marin, on the slopes of Mt. Tam.
It was great!
We went up the Matt Davis trail from Stinson Beach, (see the hike under hikes.)
We went up one ravine with lots of redwoods, oaks, and a creek with tons of waterfalls and then came down another.
Everything was lush and bursting with fresh growth since it was right after a rain.
You follow a creek up, with tons of waterfalls; mostly well under 10', but nice.
Then you turn around at the Pan Toll Ranger station and come back down a different trail, with tons more waterfalls, etc...
You really shouldn't miss it, especially after a rain.
I don't know how the waterfalls will be later in the year, especially since we haven't really had any rain this year, but even if they dry up it should still be quite nice, since it is in the ravine and the shade. We took our time and made a day of it, stopping for lunch on a nice open hillside with a view of the ocean and Stinson Beach.
Today, I'm just sitting at home relaxing for a change.
Well, not exactly.
I've been working on this site for the last few hours.
I've got a lot done, including rearranging things so they're cleaned up and work better.
I've got a lot more pages up and accessible, as well as cleaned up the menu's and stuff.
It's actually starting to look quite nice.
Of course, I'm kinda biased since it's mine.
The Dream Machines pages are now open, as well as multiple Superhero Street Fair pages, and How Weird Street Faire pages. More of the SF pages are open, too.
Please be patient, I'm getting stuff done as fast as I can.
I kinda wanted to do Mt. Diablo today, but I was going to give a friend a ride and so I couldn't.
When she flaked, I decided to stay home and work on this some.
I'll try to get more photo's posted later.
I have to dig deep to find all of my older stuff and then sort through it to find the ones worth posting.
That's many hours worth of work, no matter how fast I am, and I want to do some other stuff, too.
Then there are hours worth of writing to create and edit hiking posts with directions, mileage, elevation gain, etc...
Plus, I also want to work on my other website:
http://www.secondhandlife.org/
It's more important than this one, although I love my photo's and hikes.
It is to help other people who are rebuilding their lives from whatever crash they've lived through.
I don't think I'm very good at that, but, I'm managing, so I should try to help those below me, as should we all.
Well, that's about enough for now.
Y'all have a great day now, you hear?
