With Margaret in Santa Rosa

I showed up early for Margaret’s birthday party and got to explore Santa Rosa.

Big Wood

We were not the only people eager to hit the muddy trails for a Sunday beach hike in January.

It was a glorious day for a beach hike.

Small things are still happening as they always do. Let’s see if I can catch us up.

There were apparently wild animals afoot.

The scenery was outstanding, the company even better. We had a great day.

I ignored the Visitors Center and went directly to the trail.

Bonnie’s hike gave me the boost I needed to get outside and do my own hike.

California’s Central Valley is about 450 miles long and I drove through them all.

If I went back home through California, my road trip would make a loop.
