A deer I came a crossed while on a hike
5 Flag Hill Loop, Sunol Wilderness CA
Spring time is the best time for East Bay hiking. At Sunol I hiked this loop, and also the popular Alameda Creek hike. This one was the best of the two.

Good day!
My first hike at age 66. The mountains are the most welcoming place I know.
Even if my heart aches, I find solace there. My heart skips with birdsong. My pulse races with the chipmunks scampering in the trees. The forest paints calm for my eyes. Im alive.
Be everwell.
4 Mountain Brook Falls, Andover NH
4-star falls, 3-star trail. The trail to the waterfall follows closely with Mountain Brook for the full 1 mile trek.
Trail is mostly easy but currently has some (mostly) light surface mud & water along around 10% of the route. Also, the best viewing spot for the waterfall requires a little scrambling since the main trail ends short.

Good day!
A day of contrasts.
This morning, Ill solo hike, the weather finally cooperating during the week.
Later today, Ill bid goodbye to the one other person Ive hiked with as she moves away.
Life goes on. Ill continue my last reviews of Book2s content.
Be everwell.
Make an Art Trail When the canopy breaks Open26
Good day!
Ill hike this week, but NOT on a holiday. Too many people. Too many bikes.
I may hike twice.
All the parts that make up Book2 are assembled &/or updated. I need to review them again.
Regardless, Ill publish A River in Each Hand in June.
And hike a lot more.
Be everwell.

Good day!
The green season is upon us, along with the good & bad it brings.
Thats seasonal change. I love it.
Theres also the changes I pursue that would seem a hopeless endeavor, but I pursue them anyway. Not the hopelessness, but my hearts desire.
Be everwell.

on today's ride I was undecided about which bike would help me to unlock a new route over the hills, so I opted for the ebike for its versatility, curiously this time I found two people walking with their dogs and an old man hiking...
5 Brook Walk Falls, Moultonborough NH
The Brook Walk trail is situated within the Castle in the Clouds estate in New Hampshire's Ossipee Mountains, near picturesque Lake Winnipesaukee.
Following the route of Shannon Brook, the Brook Walk visits no fewer than seven distinct waterfalls and each cascade has its own character.

Good day!
And so the warming begins
Its coinciding with a long weekend holiday here in the US, which means the trails will be crawling with people, many of them on bikes.
Ill wait.
Instead, & because I have the freedom to do so, Ill spend these days on Book2.
Be everwell.

Good day!
This is my day. Not the day I was born, but one I treasure just the same. Actually, more.
The day I observe alone. Ive warmed to doing so, & no longer give details.
My heart is heavy, but with joy. I cried while preparing my coffee. Thats okay.
This is my day.
Be everwell.

On a trail that's worth remembering4 Bald Knob & Turtleback Mt, Lake Winnipesaukee NH
Waterfalls and two peaks in the Ossipee Mountains of New Hampshire, both with very different great views.

Good day!
A gnarly old tree straight out of a gothic rainstorm at midnight. Yet, during the day, I noticed all the new growth surrounding it.
I try to be new in some way each day. Some days, life gives me all the new I can handle.
It isnt enough to be new, we need to be new again.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Its cold!
Okay, so maybe having had some warm days made me a wimp.
Meanwhile, as always seems to be the case, Ive an inhuman number of tasks to accomplish today.
Yet, Ill get them done. I thrive on pushing myself unmercifully, I guess. Here we go

Good day!
The weather more resembles March than May. For my walks, I dont care.
I am, though, itching to hike again. This is the first year when Ive tried hiking in the spring. The good days keep falling on the weekends.
I will NOT hike on the weekends. No thanks.
Be everwell.
I hiked this morning it's been a while. Everything was beautiful.

Good day!
Yesterday did provide me a nice walk in the rain in the morning.
For the quasi lazy day, I took a look at particular issues with other books, & have a great draft of a blurb for Book2.
No wonder I havent hiked in May before. Its windy, muddy, & cold.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Here in the mountains, even now, winter has moments when it whispers that it wont be gone for long.
Then it dusts the peaks white again & retreats.
Ive decided to release my next book in June, so I guess that I, too, will return.
Be everwell.
in today's ride, I forgot to recharge the ebike so I rode about 13km on a hilly route with less than 20% of battery, so I suffered the steep climbs 'cause the weight of my ebike is more than my other traditional bike, but even so, I really enjoyed the trails as always.
Easy und trotzdem nice... , Kantone und
