Elevation Gain: 200 feet
Time: 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm
Weather: Sunny and cold.
This is the first week I am counting even though the hike was not on the "weekend." There are a few hikes where I counted a Friday hike or a Monday hike. The one Friday hike, I actually hiked on the weekend too, but I got sick that night and never blogged about the hike on the weekend. It was earlier in the streak (actually about 2 years ago exactly). Then almost a year later I counted a Monday hike because the holidays were Saturday and Sunday. But this last week I hiked on Tuesday.
I was in California for the holidays visiting my friend Matt and his lovely family. Matt actually started this whole thing back in September 2010. We had a great hike planned earlier in the week for Monday. I was totally fine with counting it because of all the holiday time and travel stuff. Well then came the crazy intestinal bug his son got, followed hours later by his wife, then me, then Matt. Monday was recovery. Tuesday, we felt normal enough to do something.
We biked 5 miles to a trailhead, hiked about 4 miles along Putah Creek (the same creek I was at about a year earlier, but lower in the valley), and biked back home another 5 miles. It was a lovely hike, and it was nice to hike on jeans and tennis shoes again.
Orchid: Hiking with my best friend.
Onion: Knowing I was leaving the next day. And really needing a bathroom for 3/4 of the hike.
