Just wanted to check in and let everyone know I haven't forsaken the Hiking The Bay Area site. Unfortunately my absence has been due to some complicated household repairs that I have had to undertake that have taken up most of my time and energy. Hopefully things will be cleared up in the next month or so. Sorry about that but I do hope to be back out on the trail ASAP (particularly for whatever spring color we may have in what looks like it's going to be a drought ridden Bay Area).
