We decided to walk Sawyer Canyon (the walk around the lake in San Mateo) and I thought this would be a great walk for training, but we couldn't take the dog. We got to the first spot where TH thought would be good to start but there were like 1000 cars parked there so we decided to go to Millbrea.
TH took through memory lane, talking about sneaking down when he was boy and going fishing - climbing in areas he wasn't suppose to be and just generally being a boy. It was charming to hear his stories and I could almost imagine myself their in the early 50's a safer quieter time.
So we got to the walk and I got out of the car and immediately said this just isn't going to work - it was all downhill. I was freaking out the whole walk down and I just knew I couldn't make it back - so I only walked 1.3 miles before telling TH we HAD to turn around. But the hill just looked worse then it was, so now I regret having turned around. I decided to walk the whole trail next Wednesday for our anniversary. It was too beautiful to even listen to BOT - so I am looking forward to Wednesday.

Sawyers Camp Road (also known as "Old Lake Road" when I was a boy) is quite beautiful - particularly in the fall.
ReplyDeleteWalking the 12 mile round trip on our 20th anniversary should be fun - hopefully I won't need a chopper to medivac me out.
Picnic lunch (product only for T3 plus maybe an orange or apple or energy bar) should break it up.
TSH needs a haircut - my reflection looks like something from the zoo!
That's always true. The hills look worse than they are. Always. You could jog the 12 miles, I'll bet.
