... and not that much better, though I have more songs under my “sort of can play” category, including “Comfortable” by John Mayer and “Trouble” by Ray LaMontagne. Recent staples have been “Winding Road” by Bonnie Somerville, “Mr. Jones” and “Anna Begins” by Counting Crows; newest acquire is “Last Request” by Paolo Nutini. I don’t think I’ll ever be done learning (if what I’m doing is learning… perhaps it’s closer to ‘stagnating’), so this goal will probably never migrate to the “I’ve done this” list.
Plus, Guitar Hero is awesome and I can play way more songs on it!

12 miles from Tassajara road in the Carmel valley through redwood forest but mostly high, exposed manzanita shrub type terrain. Elevation change ~ 4000 ft? Buddy’s dogs didn’t do so well on the hot rocky ground – full on blisters and general fatigue resulted in one or both dogs being carried in addition to packs! Sykes was really cool – hot springs piped into man-fortified natural hot tubs on river cliffbanks. 10 mile hike out through mostly redwood forest to Big Sur state park.

First backpacking trip (full-ish pack, overnight)! Only 3-4 miles in and out, mostly rolling redwood forest. Very mosquitoey. Mmm camp stove quesadillas…
