Hike 18: SLO and Pismo

Posted on August 10, 2021 by nutMeg

This was a two-fer. OK, maybe two part is a better description. We were in San Luis Obispo to visit family, and were able to sneak it in. Well again, maybe sneak isn’t the best word, since both parts included … Continue reading →

Another after work jaunt, and new to me spot – Mount Burdell. The website blurb has this to say: “Marin County’s largest open space preserve, Mount Burdell rises to a 1500 feet summit with panoramic views.” AND! The world’s best … Continue reading →

Posted on April 14, 2021 by nutMeg
