My only regret is that I have not written more in the past month, otherwise my holiday season was a productive one. I worked like crazy for the first time in many retail high seasons. It is funny how Christmas seems to find a way to zap your bank account no matter how much you work though. Christmas was nice and relaxing I'm glad we decided to stay in California rather than pay twice as much to fight through the extra giant airport crowds o our way back to Maine or Bermuda.
20-10 is shaping up to be the year of the hike. I'm already making plans for several major hikes this year. The first of which will likely be Mt. Diablo (3,849') over in the East Bay this winter. This May Chris and Ben are rolling in for a visit and we plan to storm Half Dome in Yosemite (8,880'). That will be a 2 day adventure as we'll probably set up camp half way in little Yosemite Valley. Then this summer when I return to Maine, we'll tackle Mt. Katahdin (5,268'). I'm really looking forward to these hikes and am determined to keep myself in the best physical shape possible so I won't be sucking wind in the thin air. Today I set out to conquer Mt Davidson (925', most of it driven) and San Francisco's famous Cliff Walk from Cliff House down to the Golden Gate Bridge. After hours of running, climbing, walking, stumbling, and sight seeing (I even saw a naked man at Baker Beach) I figured a blog and a picture would be a fitting end to my day of exploration.
