album in my gallery today. I’ve been using my iPhone to take photos the last week while I’ve been out hiking. Most of the pics shown in that gallery were taken along the Coastal Trail between Land’s End and Eagle’s Point in San Francisco. They’re not the greatest quality, but you can get a good idea what I was seeing on both hikes. Last week’s hike was from Land’s End to Eagle’s Point and back.
Today’s hike was from Land’s End to the VA trail, down to the Coast Trail, back up to the parking lot, back down to the VA trail, down to the coastal trail, then over to Mile Rock Beach. All told, I think I covered about 1000 feet total elevation.
Boy am I out of shape!
After submitting resumes tomorrow, I’m going to head out to Rancho San Antonio for some hiking up the PG&E Trail. I really doubt I’ll get very far, considering the trail has over 1200 feet in rise and is extremely strenuous. If I can make it up to the vista point with the benches, I should be good.
Here are a few of the images I’m happiest with:

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="640" caption="At Dead Man's Point, a weather-beaten tree overlooks the perilous cliffs. If you turn 180 degrees, you can see the sheer drop off beyond the "Stay Back" sign."]

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="640" caption="A different area along the Coastal Trail. This sign wasn't kidding. Just past the sign is a drop that looked to be about 200 feet, onto a bunch of boulders. I stayed well back."]

Anyway… That’s enough from me for now. Thanks for visiting and Keep Coming Back!!!]]>
Hey!
It is =great= that you are getting out and doin’ stuff. And the walkin’ is especially good — will help you stay active and alert and also be good for your body.
Glad to see you are doin’ resumes, too. Think about volunteering . . . anywhere. Gives ya’ something to do, looks good on your record, and increases contacts. You can volunteer to do computer work or just to help with “anything.”
Pix are =great!=
Love ya’
Ol’ Dad
