Posting for fun from flicker here. www.mymountaintrail.com is still the place to be...

Today was my first shift as a Mt. Tamalpais lookout. No fires today and nice weather. It was a great way to start.

The view is to the ENE. This razor wire surrounds the lookout to keep people from trying to climb into the building when it is not occupied. Or, maybe it is to keep lookouts from trying to escape... Maybe both!

Blog Migration...

I am moving my blog to a new server. This is an experiment for the moment, but if I can get the new format cleaned up, I will probably stay with it. Here is the link: My Mountain Trail

If things don't work out, I'll just move back here. After all, I just figured out how to add a small border around my photos, which is a nice improvement. Anyway, see you on the new trail!

168/365 - Resilience

There is a seam of serpentine rock cutting through Mt. Tam. It usually results in sparse vegitation and rugged, (green) rocky terrain. This tree has taken on the challenge to survive here. So far, so good.

Guess where I ended up while hiking on Mt. Tamalpais yesterday evening? It was quite windy, and I wanted to show the action. It's a bit hard to see at this size, but you may see some if you look close.

The Pursuit of Happiness

Here is a link about the pursuit of happiness from the blog of Steve C., one of my shave-brush customers. It's worth taking a look at.
