Nice to see all that green! I'm still hiking with ice traction devices on my shoes here.

My friend is hiking the trail in bits and pieces. Never will I do it! She's done 700 miles. All of PA,MD, WV and about half of Virginia, then some in MA,CT, NC, TN. I admire anyone who hikes!! Myself, give me boardwalks, paved paths, and wide paths!
Yeah, we've had a decent amount of rain, fairly consistent but not overwhelming, since October. This is definitely the most beautiful time of the year here. I've always been a summer person and really do enjoy that time of year here but it's just not as pretty as the green during rainy season. And summer/fall is also fire season, so there's that...Originally Posted by Rogar
I actually found this trail in a book about dog hikes in northern california that I stumbled on at the library and then went on the AllTrails app and found that they only had it as a 22 mile one way trail so I did like 2.5 miles in/2.5 miles back which was lovely. Next weekend the weather is also supposed to be nice so I'm thinking I'll get an early start and do like 4-5 miles in and then come back. That would be 3-4 hours so I'd need to take lunch but totally doable for a day hike. There are no roads cutting through the entire 22 miles so the further in I go the less people I will run into since most people probably do like I do and turn around at some point. (not that I ran into a ton of people anyway. Maybe 10 people groups the entire time I was out there?)
LOL. You remind of a friend that I used to work with. She lives in San Francisco and her idea of a nice walk is strolling down the street at a slow speed and looking in the windows of shops. I told her that SO would probably enjoy a walk with her more than me since the only reason I take a walk is to get exercise or get to where I'm going. Another friend of mine calls my style of city walking "forced marches".
LOL. Forced marches is how I used to walk when I lived in Chicago 20 years ago, before my knees went to hell.
JP You made me laugh! I am going tomorrow on a wee walk around the park...paved path, flat but with a stream. Oh, and my hiking friend did 7 1/2 miles in the woods yesterday!
Went on a naturalist-led hike last weekend and my DH was amused that the only pics I came home with was bark and lichen. To each his/her own, I say!20240125_133717.jpg
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
Nothing wrong with that, Kay!
Bark and lichen pics are good! I have a friend who hikes and takes pics of the different mushrooms along the way.
