Got some hiking boots, Coleman brand, only spent $40 on them, did 7-8 miles todayat Skyline Wilderness Park in Napa… eat yer heart out Holly Day… 2.3 mile hike to Lake Marie up an old stagecoach road, steady incline… the lake was beautiful… Then I looped around on the Skyline trail which was fairly steep up and down in spots and sometimes very rocky but fairly easy. Spots that overlooked the Bay had a nice cool breeze 15-20 degrees cooler… I saw a lot of deer, wild turkey at the lower levels, a flock of small blue songbirds and some big birds of prey flying above.
I sat down on a bench about an hour into a hike today for just a minute and I noticed I had two ticks on my pant leg when I stood up… I noticed the ticks hang out on the benches and picnic tables and I saw a few in flowers alongside the trail, it’s like they have a heat map of where humans and animals often go the most.
So I found an incredible view and some rocks to sit on and rolled one up… about halfway through the hike… views of the bay had a nice much cooler strong breeze of San Francisco air blowing in which was nice. Beautiful day about 77 degrees out.
