Such a fascinating series. Such a well written series of threads she weaves together so well. I thoroughly enjoyed them.

February in the Bay Area is possibly my favorite month. It’s stunningly green, chilly (for here), lush, clean and gorgeous.

Still too expensive to live in, and too far from the mountains but I’ll enjoy it while I can.

No spoilers but I like the direction she took the story in this more so than the direction the story goes in the TV version.

We’re going Back to the Future bb.

Did R2R in May a few years back, fell so deeply in love with it went back and did the R3 in the fall.

I’ve done a bunch of other trails there, been back every year since then.

Amazing place.

Random shots along my Sunday run. Finished out 32 miles this week. A decent training block so far, base building for some summer adventures is coming along well. #trailrunning

“Trump is acting like a king because he is too weak to govern like a president.”

Lines like this give me hope. But damn is that a scary thing to have after getting burned by the stove last November.

Thanks for the share.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it

I think that was from a short documentary based loosely on my farewell Interplay email.

Cool and cloudy are my favorite #trailrunning conditions. 10 easy miles this morning

This one is right across the valley from Whitney, next time you’re in the area, and she’s a beauty!

Stormy clouds in the background of a dark, rocky summit block.

I am missing the mountains today. That is all.

Yep, the setting sun for about a week is perfectly lined up with Horsetail falls, an ephemeral fall near El Cap.

So if you have some snow at the top and days warm enough to melt it, and a clear view to the west for the sunlight to hit it, the water gets that red color from the setting sun.

Yeah I don’t think we’ll ever see the manmade one again.

The natural one really is something to see though, it’s with the hassle and likely misses.

You need a few things to line up for Yosemite’s firefalls:

Decent snowpack in a relatively small drainage basin

Clear skies at sunset to the west

It took me a few years of trying to see one, but it paid off eventually.

I don’t think we have enough snow this year for much if any of a show.

Running up Temelpa trail as the sun starts to crack the cloud deck is one of my favorite ways to start a day. The route up from Mill Valley to the top of Mount Tam is a classic.

Cold (for California) means soup here!

Didn’t realize how badly Bluesky compresses videos. Looks like an ‘06 Nokia phone pic

Disassociating from this shitshow of a day here.

Looks like a great day up there, peak?

I could have sat here for hours watching the fog roll through.

Sunrise on Mt Tamalpais requires me to wake up about 2.5 hours before sunrise to drive and run up Temelpa trail to the summit. So that was a 4am start today, but on days like this it’s easily worth it.

Ohhhh you can count me in, thanks for the heads up!

This reminds me of one of my favorite bay area stories.

Oh #blueskyartshow featuring #layers you say, I’m in.

On the crest of California’s White Mountains looking east over the Great Basin at sunrise.

There’s another option… tent on top to wake up at sunrise and poke your head out!

Cat napping on me

Well, looks like I’ll be calling in sick today, no way I’m disturbing this little guy’s cat nap.

So that explains what’s been going on. Thanks Jake, that means a lot.
