Long Ridge and Portola Redwoods (08.07.2010)
Started off at Long Ridge with the soupy fog below me
I usually hike these hills in the spring - not used to seeing them this brown.
Turkey
Why did the turkey cross the road?
To get to his girlfriend, of course.
Dry.
Hot.
Fog
I only spend a couple of miles in this terrain - I'm heading down this road into the redwoods below.
Fog hanging over the redwoods.
Finally out of the sun and into the shade.

Nice spot for a break and foot soak somewhere around mile ten.
Closer to 5 miles. Strenuousness is relative. I didn't think it was bad.
Mmmmm this was a perfect place to be on a summer day.
Back at the top, hot and dry.
