At the landslide, a large boulder wedged against a tree

Monday, Oct. 19-- I'm out of shape, and John almost phoned last night to back out. But we both showed up at the trailhead at 10 a.m. today for an ambling hike up Little Si under clear skies. We took our time, 5.5 hours, and just enjoyed the beauty of the trail and conversation. John's fleece vest got damp, but I barely broke a sweat. The last hike I went on was Oct. 22, almost a month ago. Time to catch up and start getting ready for Maui's Haleakala.
