As part of California and the Bay Area's cautious slow reopening a number of parks were opened up on Monday in San Mateo County (the county immediately south of san francisco). Needing to get out, I decided to take a PTO day today and go for a hike. (It was also an absolutely gorgeous day today.) Almost nobody was out on the trail, one of my favorites, with views at the top of both the bay to the east, and the ocean to the west. We still have a long road to travel in this calamity but I feel so much better now than I have felt since this all started. And I got in 7.9 miles at 14,786 steps and an elevation gain of 56 floors according to my phone (858 feet of elevation gain according to AllTrails.com).
Interestingly a fair number of planes took off from SFO during the two hours I was out there, although they were only using one of the runways. Nowhere near normal amounts but more than I expected.
