1) I depended on my iphone for navigation (reception cuts out pretty fast over there!)
2) We parked at the wrong trailhead and our planned 8 mile hike turned into 15. Oops.
3) I brought us very little nourishment for 8 hours of walking (PB&J, almonds, bananas)...let's just say we were hungry and dehydrated at the end of the day.
But it ended up being a great day trip. I got to catch up with a good friend, see beautiful scenery, do something healthy, and enjoy the most perfect bay weather possible.
Just near where we parked our car. :P
This is K who someone managed to survive 8 hours of walking and talking with me. He's also a newbie dslr owner and a newbie outdoor-ist (yes I can make up my own words on this blog) making him a perfect hiking buddy for me. We already have ideas for our next nice weekends in the Bay.

My first time seeing a groundhog...EVER!
Mmmm, what a great hike! Only to be followed by an open bar event with classmates (sponsored by the bio-e dept no less) that led to a ridiculous night. It reminded me why I sometimes feel too old for clubbing.
