BEWARE THE ACCURACY OF ALL WALKS. Conditions Change Hi All, Thank you for your support. Your visits. And more. I have downgraded the site visually, but it’s still there for a resource. A year ago April, we moved to Salem, Oregon. It suits our love of nature and culture. After two knee replacement surgeries andContinue reading “Conditions Change”

Year End in Review Part I
Since I never got to sharing many of our walks and probably won’t get around to it now – I thought, I could show you my best pictures. You can find more trail details on my site or on the famous Google. In February, we walked to the north end of the trail along theContinue reading “Year End in Review Part I”
Season’s Greetings
I wish to all of you the best of the season and good cheer in the new year. Best intentions have not meant I actually posted all our walks in Sonoma County, Marin County, Morro Bay, East Bay and a fine trip to Nevada and southwest Utah. But hey they were great. You would haveContinue reading “Season’s Greetings”
Not Walking
Some of you may have wondered where have I been. Certainly not on my blog. Apparently when I had my knee replaced last July, the doctor also removed my interest in writing. With little walking there wasn’t much to write about. The recovery was slow. I had too much pain. But we were going placesContinue reading “Not Walking”
Looking for Little Free Libraries
We were in Rogue River, Oregon (a small town between Medford and Grants Pass) on Memorial Day weekend. This little Free Library and home were well decorated. Do you have a little free library near you? The following was originally, posted in November 2015 In my travels and in walking around town, I have foundContinue reading “Looking for Little Free Libraries”
Need a Sunny Movie?
If your days are full of rain, maybe you could use a “Sunny” movie. Any surfing movie or a National Lampoon Vacation movie could work. I thought I had watched all surfer movies – fiction and non-fiction, but SurferToday has a list with movies I haven’t seen. Some of them do look like the darkerContinue reading “Need a Sunny Movie?”
Sunday’s Revisit: Introduction to Walking
Today marks my 6th anniversary with Walking in Sonoma County… mostly. After 500 posts, I can say I still feel the same way about walking and I’m happy to share. Hope you find the blog useful to finding your place in nature. I will continue to find new trails, revisit old ones and have fun withContinue reading “Sunday’s Revisit: Introduction to Walking”
Now for Something Completely Different
The older I get the less I think I know. Perhaps because the problems and therefore the solutions are more complicated than I can reason out. But it doesn’t stop me from having opinions and sometimes I’m compelled to share them. In the early 1970s, I read some of Anaïs Nin’s diaries. I was confounded that she neverContinue reading “Now for Something Completely Different”
Walking the Parks à la Google
The Press Democrat recently announced the Sonoma County Regional Parks launch of a “street view” of 15 of parks. So far I have tried Sonoma Valley Regional – I found it stopped and I wouldn’t go farther, I needed to relaunch or choose a new starting point. I also tried Pinnacles Gulch (Bodega Bay) sinceContinue reading “Walking the Parks à la Google”
Weekend Fun: Rocky & Dracula
This was not a good week personally, so here’s my dark side. And it is almost Halloween, where we get in touch with our dark side. Catch a couple of local productions. Maybe it’s time I actually see the Rocky Horror Show, because it’s been like ‘ yeah I saw it in Berkeley in 1973’Continue reading “Weekend Fun: Rocky & Dracula”
