Mountain Bikers and Hikers

While the views were fantastic and the company superb, I had one of my worst days on a mountain bike in a long time.

(Just call me crash)





John readies himself for his big hike in Yosemite next week... hiking the Oakland hills.

Inside Da Belly

The sample bar had every flavor they make, up for grabs...


I soon discoverd a rather, uh, interesting group of flavors, including Vomit, Booger, Earwax and Earthworm.

I got the kids to try vomit. They felt the flavor was authentic.




It was either hats or hairnets in the factory. We went with the hats!

Giant Sequoias in Mariposa Grove

The "Grizzly Giant" - 2,700 years old, one of the oldest living things in the world.





The California walk-through tree (still living, BTW)

More from the Merced




Acting like we were 14 again. A constant refrain.

Swimming the Merced in Yosemite

Brian scouted out a great swimming hole on the Merced. We spent hours there, swimming under the waterfalls and floating down the river.
