Beth & I walked down & back up Via de la Vista in the morning.

Went out in the pm for a visit & supposed run on the drive to the lighthouse and south shore but it was windy & raw & not inviting. Got back & got bogged down.

Point Reyes shore

Event: NEOC: Night-O
 

Not interested in anything am-time so by time a second opportunity came around, fog had come in. We drove out to Tomales Pt. as the fog was rolling off the ocean across the moors. Returning, got out of the car a few miles from top of Via de la Vista & made my way back along the paths used two days ago.

Was up for sunrise & birdsong



And out for fog and elk later

Away at dawn, unusual for me. Made it to Kehoe Beach, Beth picked me up. Chilly, esp in the hollows. We walked most of the way to the ocean but had to get back. Morning mist was gorgeous. Went to SF at 0900, Golden Gate Park, California Academy of Sciences museum & then to Dave & Sharon's in Los Altos. Back at Via de la Vista at 10p. We drove on US 1 both ways - coming back in the dark proved how stupid we were as it was not our intention...we believed the GPS had a 'midway' compromise and didn't turn around when we could have.

Ocean path to a very placid Pacific but ran out of time.

Slo-Go in Napa Valley. Morning fog in Pt. Reyes area was not particularly alluring. Clear blue in Napa was better but St. Helena area route was not particularly interesting. The vineyards, leaves yellow with fall, were lovely.



We dropped Lyn's ashes into Tamales Bay this morning. A sad departure, away with the outgoing tide...the bay & not the ocean as Annie could not walk any distance.

C • Sorry to hear... 12

From Beau & Annie's place, down Stockstill, along Pierce Pt. & Heart's Desire Beach Rds. into Tamales SP. Fog dripping from the trees, otherwise pretty silent except for an occasional bird song.

Was reminded last time I was here was '05 - I knew it was awhile but recollection can be as foggy as was the day. Going from one side of the country to the other in a day (or less) still amazes me.

Another witchcraft forest


One fellow companion

KRTF on way home from work. Drove right by the main entrance so started at secondary gate well along the road. Mostly rides & then a path & finally path system. Accidentally turned 305 off when trying find way home mode. Was in a hurry: pack, dinner out, pack the last & flight tomorrow to CA at 0600.

KRTF seems it would make a good O map: lidar base necessary, geo-referenced aerials & GPS'd feature location - sounds like a piece of cake. I want to do some more field-checking soon. Talking with George W about ghettocad/iPad use sparked the desire.
