		<title>Camping near Bodega Bay</title>

Longshoreman Cobb

Originally uploaded by khob


Dani reserved us a spot on Wrights Beach near Bodega bay so we could camp at least one night while we were on vacation. The area is my kind of climate: harsh weather and a chill in the air in the middle of summer. Listening to the sound of the crashing [...]]]></description>

Canopy

Originally uploaded by khob


One of the nice things about living in the bay area is the redwood groves scattered around the area. It&#8217;s a special experience to wander around the temperate rainforest where redwoods grow. Armstrong Redwoods state reserve is one of the best parks I&#8217;ve been to, especially for just hiking around on the [...]]]></description>

The ruins of Wolf House

Originally uploaded by khob


I remember reading Jack London&#8217;s books as a kid and being enthralled by them. I&#8217;ve seen references to him scattered around the bay area here and about his life. It&#8217;s a bit of an understatement to say he had an interesting life indeed. It turns out his gravesite [...]]]></description>

Dani and me at Gundlach Bundschu

Originally uploaded by khob


Dani and I took a trip to Sonoma to check out some of the wineries there. I had a great time wandering around the beautiful area and tasting some good wines. It was a pretty pricy place and not somewhere that I felt entirely comfortable, but it [...]]]></description>

Pretty scenery

Originally uploaded by khob


Dani and I rented Kayaks and wandered around Lake Tahoe for a few hours. I had been looking forward to this quite a bit and thought it was a blast. I think I need to live somewhere that I can buy a Kayak and take it out on the weekends. Some [...]]]></description>

		<title>A lovely visitor from afar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been out in California for a couple of months now, and I&#8217;ve been missing Danielle and my life back in Colorado. Fortunately, Danielle came out for a little over a week recently, and we had a great time wandering around Northern California. We stayed pretty busy, including:

Alameda county fair
San Francisco day trips (mission district, [...]]]></description>

Ruins of the old Bath House

Originally uploaded by khob


Dave, Matt, and I took a nice stroll around Golden Gate Park the other day, spending most of our time in the area around the beach. There are some ruins of an old bath house north of the main beach area which were interesting to see. The [...]]]></description>

This past Saturday we took off for a day of hiking in Yosemite national park, which is a few hours away by car. The weather was great and the views were spectacular. We hiked 4 mile trail from the valley floor all the way up to Glacier Point, which ended up being [...]]]></description>

Carnaval

Originally uploaded by khob


Ian, Cassie, and I went down to the Mission district to check out Carnaval. It&#8217;s mostly a parade and street fair with live music and other things to check out. Despite the crowds it was a pretty good time. Lines for everything but the people watching was good. Pictures in the Flickr [...]]]></description>

		<title>California so far</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I go away for a while I like to try to live my life a little differently. This summer, instead of spending much time on the computer I&#8217;ve been reading a lot and spending time outside. I guess this goes towards explaining why I haven&#8217;t posted anything to the blog in a while. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>
