Site News: April 2007 Archives

My transition to the new Gallery software not yet complete, but I'm ready to start directing traffic there. Many albums have been transported and are complete, but I still have a lot of captioning and labelling to go. I also will bring in some older albums I have sitting on Webshots. In the next few days I'll post photos from some of my recent hikes, but in the meantime the Photos link at the top right of this blog is now set to the new Gallery URL. The old trip entries on this blog still currently point to the old coppermine albums - I still need to setup the redirects. One step at a time...

ATT has come to the rescue, and I am once again on the innerweb at high(er) speed. Now I will be (hopefully) able to finish my migration project in short time.

I need to finish up - I have some nice photos to share from recent dayhikes. Two weekends ago I did the round trip hike to Palo Corona in Garrapata State Park. Just north of Big Sur, this hike scored a 10 on the scenery scale (plus bonus wildflowers!) and it wasn't easy, either! Just how I like 'em. This past weekend I did the killer Mt Sizer loop in Henry Coe. The loop took me from HQ through Poverty Flat, up Blue Ridge, then roller coastered over a few more ridges before spitting my battered body back out at HQ, nearly 17 miles and 5000 feet later.

I think I'll have to take it easy this coming weekend. The Garrapata hike left me with a lovely poison oak rash all over my legs, and I'm still feeling that Coe hike two days later. And you know what? I still loved it and don't regret either hike at all. Even a bad day on the trail beats a good day sitting at work.
