Miles walked this weekend: 12
Minutes of football watched: 0
On Saturday I unintentionally walked about 4 miles in my neighborhood after getting lost on my morning constitutional. Well at least my neighborhood is a nice place to get lost. And thank god I had eaten breakfast first or I would have been in real trouble. :>)
Then on Sunday my friend Kaity and I took off for an adventure in Pt. Reyes. We walked through the Tule Elk Reserve, where in fact we saw many, many Tule elk. We also ate a delicious lunch she had made including cabbage that totally rocked my world. It’s not very often you can say that about cabbage. That Kaity is special girl.
I was channeling a little bit of redneck energy. Note the outfit. I’ve been listening to Johnny Cash on repeat lately. And planning a possible road trip through Kentucky and West Virginia. Hmmmmmm the possibilities.
I keep taking pictures outside when my camera is set to tungsten lighting or something so they are too blue. My attempts to correct the color haven’t been too successful. I like how this one looks a little old school though.
Getting excited for East Coast visitors in the coming weeks!!! Always looking for ways to convince the rest of the populace that West is Best.
You’ve got me California Dreamin’…
…or is that reminiscing? I’m glad those places are still there, looking so good, and you are finding and enjoying them. It’s hard to beat that windswept place for exhilarating desolation; what would you give to be the light keeper there (at least on sunny days…)?
Another windswept place I remember had a great panoramic view of the Santa Clara Valley, from Morgan Hill to Richmond. It is southwest of San Jose, up in the hills above Lexington Reservoir, I think, some county park, a curvy road rounding the top of a broad, flat hilltop. There was a particularly memorable visit in late afternoon during the spring tarantula swarm. The spiders! And the view! You should go there…
…roll that in with a slow un-hurried trip to Santa Cruz along Hwy 35, Skyline Blvd. You can pick it up off 92, after crossing Crystal Springs reservoir. Continue on Hwy 9 towards Boulder Creek… Have lunch with my buddy Mike Dunn once you’re in Santa Cruz. Head back home on Hwy 17, and take the Lexington Reservoir exit… go up Limekiln blvd… take lots of tarantula food…
