This week, Mary and Sam took a Sierra Club hike (see Sam's excellent documentation of it ... and I know he would appreciate it if you left him a comment.)
But we still went ahead and did a family hike this morning. The heat has dropped significantly since last weekend's record beating sun-beating. Today was a good 25 degrees cooler than the same time last week. There was a constant dew in the air and fog in the lower sky all morning, making the hike quite pleasant and even chilly much of the time. The limited visibility had notable influence on the pics. They still give you a good feeling of our "backyard mountain."

Mary and Sam took to the hills, rocks and trees together. They are a bit hobbitish at times. (As pointed out earlier by my anonymous commenter, they have the correct names for it.)
We are so thrilled to have such a lovely Open Space in our backyard. Although, it has a very unamerican vibe to it. I feel more like we're in the Cotswolds or New Zealand or some such away place.
