spend more time outside

Left the house around 8AM!

We started out at Mountain Home and hiked to the Summit and back

Up Hog Back to Old RR Grade to Fern Creek.

Looped up Plank Road to the Summit and down some eroded trail that was closed at the bottom but not marked as such at the top.The view at the top was spectacular

Went down Verna Dunshee to Temelpa to Vic Haun, Old RR Grade for a bit and then over Hoo Koo e Koo Trail back to Hog Back to complete the loop. I am guessing about seven miles or so. It was amazingly beautiful, I hope I get out my lazy ass out of the house early more often for such activities.

...how much I am failing at this during my vacation…and how much I love to be outside The aging process has conspired with my employment to reduce my intiative to get out of doors. I need to make a much greater effort to overcome the inertia that is sitting on my ass.

Life in the fog zone presents an easy excuse for staying inside, a poor excuse that must be resisted.

Horseback riding and a long hike on the Mendocino Coast. It was lovely.

Most of the fam went for a short hike on Mt. Tam today. It was hotter than usual so we stayed under the canopy.

Starting from Pan Toll Ranger Station

Stapleveldt to Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson to Dipsea

Dipsea to TCC

TCC back to Stapleveldt

We were all out of shape, so the hike was much shorter than usual. It was lovely and just about right for our stamina.

It was lovely

We had a nice hike on Mt. Burdell today. It was a little too hot for an out of shape family that lives inside the fog belt.

We have to do this more often.

Fall in Northern California is amazing.

Why do I spend my life indoors?

This is no way to live.

Hiking or some other outdoor activity at least one day every weekend unless it rains.

I get out fairly often, but still need to go outside more. Maybe if would stop raining for a day or two.
