Hike

Saturday we had a ward hike in the morning. It was a four hour hike, beautiful but a little exhausting considering I went to a dance down by Stanford afterward. We hiked through just about every terrain possible, meadow, stream, snow, rocky outcrops, up and down slopes, over fallen trees, there were even places someone had poured sand on the trail. There was quite a lot of snow melt so there were a few places where I could not really be sure if we were just walking through a stream or if the trail was really underneath. Very cool!

The big even was of course me slipping while fording the stream and falling in. Luckily not everyone saw and my sweater which was in my bag only got mildly wet. it was so cold! There was un-melted snow on either side of the stream to give you an idea of the temperature.

Some of these photos were taken with my phone and some with the camera's of others.

Lunch at Work

Every May (I know it is June now but I just got the photos) we have several employee appreciation lunches. I thought you might like to see some nice photos of the nice people I work with.

Point Reyes

For Memorial Day I dragged B to the coast. We went to Abbott's Lagoon, a short walk out to the dunes and then, depending on which way you go a quick walk out to the ocean. Of course I realized there was no memory card in my camera, after we had already started our walk. In addition we took the "long" way to the ocean - up and over the dunes - which were actually closed due to bird nesting season but there were no off limits signs on the way we went up (prob because they didn't think anyone was stupid enough to hike up a rather large mountain of sand) so we did not realize we were in the "off-limits" area until we came down the other side to the ocean. It was an absolutely beautiful day! The weather was perfect.

Shocking

I was posting a comment on LT's blog and the following word verification came up:



No thank you! I find this rather disturbing.
