Mt St Helena and Long Ridge OSP
June 18th, 2009
I know it’s been quiet around here lately. I’m gearing up for a business trip to Germany and have been a bit overwhelmed with work. My work travels will be followed by a trip to my Michigan home town to hang out at the National Cherry Festival with my family (including my sister, the 2004 Cherry Queen). In the meantime I have about 6 posts half-written based on questions I’ve received. I guess that gives me something to do on the 32 hours of flying I’ll be doing. I’ll be hitting the trail hard at the end of July - lots of Sierra backpacks in August and September!
Last weekend I threw in a couple of good local hikes. I did a short section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail on Friday afternoon up at Long Ridge, then on Saturday I headed up to bag some county highpoints and hiked Mt St Helena. Finally got the pictures posted last night. I hope to write a more detailed entry on the St Helena hike later, but in the meantime, here are some pictures.
- Long Ridge OSP pictures (lots of flowers still out!)
- Mt St Helena pictures (gorgeous views of Napa Valley!)
You’re coming home!!!!! Woooooo!!!!!
