Beautiful day in California\/ Spent the first half doing absolutely nothing at Peter and Megan’s wonderful beach house. Diane and I read and hung out in the hot tub.. doesn’t get any better than that !<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Around 1 we motivated.. and drove up to Point Reyes to get in a hike before meeting our friends for Dinner in Inverness. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pint reyes is a hige place.. so we stopped at the guide cengr to ask for advise.. They suggested a close by moutain hike.. <\/p>\n

the trail maps suggested not eating mushrooms. \"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

the trail up Mount Wittenberg was a great hike up and run down.. not much view a the top.. but beautiful old forest.. I really loved running down with poles.. never used them on a run.. it was sort of like parcor meets hiking.. . I was flying !<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

at the bottom.. we took a short hike that went over the san andreas fault that runs through the park.. so cool !\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

check this out !> Point Reyes was down near Los Angeles  20 million years ago !.. it’s been sliding north as the pacific plate grinds agains the North American plate. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

and it’s goign to keep on sliding.. so hang on !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

here’s one of  set of markers that show where ther fault goes through. It slid 16 feet in 20 seconds during the 1906 earthquake !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

perfect place for a samstone !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

after abotu 5 miles of hiking we were pretty hungry.. and luckily dinner  with  our friends was only 6 minutes away..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

just by pure luck.. one of my best friends, Rafe Mazzeo and his family had rented a a house in Inverness to celebrate the 90th(!) birthday of Rafe’s mom.. and our dear friend.. Katie Clare. ..  it was a total coincidence that their house was only 16 miles from where we’re staying.. perfect serendipity !<\/p>\n

We were surprise visitors for Katie clair.. she was really happy to see us !<\/p>\n
