Spelunking

So yesterday my Dad mentioned there was a geocache right next to a mine he never knew existed. So we headed up the top of Bolinas ridge, where the road forks. Strangely enough, we ran into Brian, my Dad’s friend, and he joined our party. Once parking, we covered the hillside pretty well until I nearly fell right into the open mine.

We hung out there for awhile, which was fun. The cave is about 6’3“ at it’s highest point!

It was 10-20 degrees cooler in this old mine. We found the geocache, and I think I’ll visit again today to leave a surprise for future visitors!

Tahoe 6/30

I went to Tahoe the other weekend with Jamie, Brendan, Matt and Jamie’s friend, Kim. We had a lot of fun, staying at Jamie’s Grandparent’s condo. After exploring some beaches, we went hiking up Eagle Rock, an awesome mountain thing that over looked the lake. I couldn’t help myself and quickly got information for a geocache. We then hiked down to emerald bay and were attacked by geese! I hate geese. Check out the slideshow!

The next day we went rafting down the Truckee river. it was pretty mellow the whole way down, making for a nice time to hang out. I got pretty burned, but I’ll live.

Father's Day Hike! 6/17

Oh man! I have been soooooo busy with work and traveling that I have barely had any time to relax or update blogness! But Here we go! Happy Father’s Day to Dads! We went on a hike up above Mt. Tam!

The hike started with trouble as we locked the keys in the car, it was hot out and the parents were a little under the weather so I won’t blame them, lol. We hiked down the hill to find a few Geocaches. One was by a bridge and another across a fallen tree bridge. Both my mom and dad got pretty excited about the whole Geocache thing, which was pretty cool. The first was located near an old corsair engine!

This inspired us to search for the rest of the wreckage, which was rumored to still be lying around. So, we scaled hills in the blistering heat, brushed against spiky scrubs and tumbled down valleys until we eventually found this neat little meditation spot. It was this old windblown tree surrounded by a rock wall and covered in all sorts of weird little trinkets.(Lets see if I can get this video thing to work...)


Success!

Anyway, we pressed on until we found our final Geocache... No wreckage tho... I wanted to bushwack to get home, but that made my mom very unhappy as she got a little beat up. They are getting old, but not old to the point that I can drive them through rough terrain for several hours! I hope to be as active when I am 50. After a lot of arguing we eventually got back to the car! Twas a great hike! Happy Pappys Day!
