Hike: Muddy Hollow


Rhodora, Sue and I drive up to Point Reyes after 8:00 Mass for a Peru training hike. We did 7.0 miles in 2:30 with 800-ft of climbing which was pretty easy. Just after leaving Coast Camp we spot a whale jumping in the white camps pretty close to shore. Not a gray whale but smaller with a dark blue or black body. We parked the car at the north end of the Laguna Trail and hiked south to Coast Camp. From there we went west on the Coast Trail and jump down to the Beach to get to Limatour. We found the trail blocked on Muddy Hollow but jumped the Forest Service breast works and headed back north to the car on an abandoned trail.

Paddle: Muir Beach


Lee Apple and I joined up for a paddle on the coast. We drove up to Muir Beach and paddled north to Stinson Beach. The fog cover remained low all day but conditions were very nice for a coastal paddle, not much wind and a little swell to push us home.

Hike: Upper Newport Bay


During halftime intermission of Tony's wedding, Rho, mom, and I went for a hike along the west side of the Upper Newport Bay (map link http://www.newportbay.org/maphigh.htm). It was hotter than us northerners are use to. The scenery was beautiful and we had a nice chat.
