Thursday Afternoon Trail Run


An automobile carrier (roll-on/roll-off) ship passes Point Benicia in the Carquinez Straight on its way to the AMPORTS dock 25 July 2013.

 
The base of an ancient bay tree has become ten or so trunks along the arroyo.


Looking up in a grove of old bay trees


About 500 feet higher than the spot where the picture of the boat was taken, we're looking northwest along the fire trail that locals call "the wall" -- that last quarter mile has most of the elevation gain!


And here we stand at the top of the ridge, looking southeast toward Mount Wanda John Muir hiked these very hills more than a hundred years ago!
