I’m not sure what happened to me yesterday but I was done in. Instead of hiking 4.6 miles into Glen camp at Point Reyes National Seashore, I camped at Tomales Bay Resort for the night. I splurged on the motel room, splurged on dinner at Saltwater Oyster Bar and didn’t get my $10 worth of camping site.
Whatever it was, I felt much better today and headed for Bear Valley Visitor Center where the trailhead for Glen camp begins. There were deer everywhere at the visitor center, totally unconcerned about us early morning hikers.
Before I got to camp, I got up close and personal with a covey of quail. I’ll have to be wait until I get to my bird book to determine which species. They looked perfectly black with a cute top knot but they were in the shade and I may not have seen their markings.
Another interesting discovery was a banana slug crawling across the trail. They are huge!

If you are thinking of repairing the machine by yourself, then the first thing you need buy viagra online cute-n-tiny.com to do is turning off the power. I think I must have gotten started around 9:15 am on the trail. I made it to the camp just a little after noon. It was mostly uphill. It’s a good thing I didn’t try to hike in yesterday. I don’t think I had the energy. The trail is actually a road bed and I shared it with morning walkers, cyclists, and horse riders. The camp has potable water and a double toilet so it’s considered a really nice camp. I’m in site 11, directly across from the toilet and more importantly, in the shade. They also have boxes to lock up your food at night to keep the raccoons out. Mice still get in but larger animals can’t.
Once I set up camp, I wanted to do a little more hiking so I set out for Wildcat camp 2.5 miles away and on the beach. In particular, I wanted to walk to Alamere falls just down the beach from Wildcat. I just about made it when the fog started rolling in and I decided there wouldn’t be much to see in pea soup fog so I started back.
On the way to Wildcat, I stopped to photograph some wildflower and got an intense burning sensation in my left leg, just below the knee. I had knelt on a stinging nettle. I had forgotten how intense the pain could be. As I write this, it still burns.
All in all, it was 7.19 miles but 4.6 was with a pack with an elevation gain of 1156 feet and a maximum elevation of 1270 feet. I’m a tired puppy.
So far, there is only a young couple in campsite 5. They walked back from Alamere falls and told me the fog was ok this morning but had begun to roll in during the afternoon.
I think dinner tonight will be beef stroganoff. I’ll pack out tomorrow morning and head to Whiskeytown/Mount Shasta National Recreational Area.
Later in the afternoon a single hiker came into site #3 and we’ve had some good conversation. He’s pretty hard core. He did 13 miles today and will do 20 tomorrow. Even later, a threesome came in and pitched camp next to me at site 10. At least the hard core guy is older. The threesome is two guys and a girl probably in their 20’s. They have a lot of energy. Hope they sleep some tonight.
