40 and exhausted.....


Just got back from our California trip...

Let's see - Berkley, Sonoma Valley, Humboldt Redwood Forests, Fort Bragg, Pacific coast Highway, San Francisco, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Sequoia National Forrest, Yosemite, Napa Valley - did I miss anything? It was an eventful trip - alternatively too cold and too hot... The vistas were beautiful yet uninviting (not like Chile). The wild life was sparse (not like Chile). Ok - so this trip would have been much better if we hadn't driven the Chilean coast last summer....

Yosemite was beautiful - but the climbing was rough. We only climbed two days - both on Knob Hill Area - we stuck to 5.6, 5.7, 5.8s. Only attempted one 5.9 - wasn't bad really - if the granite hadn't been so freaking hot! Got scrapped up a bit. Stayed at Camp 4. Did a painting of the Half Dome.

All in all fun was had by all - but I am exhausted!!!
