Some views from the Crockett hills using my Nokia panoramic app on my Lumia phone. Not a bad little app. Gives an idea of the view.

The Crockett hills can be a rough hike at certain parts. The climbs are can be pretty rough. But the view is always worth the climb.

Some of the trails dead end or are hard to follow. Grass has grown and when a fork in the hard to tell which way to go. Trails could be marked better. But still a good way to spend the day exploring.

Another tax season done. Yep it is over once I get my taxes done. Didn’t hurt too much. Got a little money back so all is good. As long as I don’t have to pay it is good.

The weather has been nice lately. Too much I mostly did my gym work. But it is always good to change things up. I got to go with the feeling while it is there.

Gun bunkers at the Marin Headlands.

Washington is thinking about a $25 tax on bicycles that cost over $500. What nonsense. All politicians do is find ways to take money. Why don’t they start by cutting government waste.

See the rain has returned. I’m ready for the rain to leave and the weather to warm up. I’m ready for some nice comfortable riding.

Gas prices are starting to go up again. Almost $4.00 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Always nice to hop on the bike and avoid paying for gas. I glad I’m healthy enough to ride my bike wherever I need to go. It is nice to have a little spending money, but when it all comes down to it I rather have my health and be broke.
