Luke's birthday is coming up, so he, myself, and a couple more friends are going on a 7-mile hike in Mt Diablo State Park. I'm going to wear my Vibrams (and pack my socks and hiking boots, just in case).
Today I received my first spam comment. Yay, my blog is moving up in the world!
Update: The hike was excellent, although we wound up not going on the full 7-mile loop, we did go up to the summit and did a brief free-climb on a rock. It was about 15°C out, but was quite windy, particularly at the summit. I enjoyed wearing the toe shoes on the way uphill and for the rock climbing, but changed into my boots for the descent - too many sharp rocks, steep hills, and too much loose gravel for comfort. Here's a few pictures from the venture:
Awesome view.
You could see a lot of counties.
The sky was gorgeous too.
A rock formation we happened upon. And happened to climb upon.
The birthday boy, on top of the world.
More of our merry hiking party atop the rock.
Me, with ridiculously wind-whipped hair.
Andrew has a picture on his camera of all six of us, which I will post once I've obtained it.
