Hiking poles help a lot on the downhills and over rough ground. Do you have some?<br /><br />Poison oak...keep me away. I get it if a cat has been in it, picks up the oil and then I pet the cat or it sits in my lap when I have shorts on. I, too, am very sensitive to it.TravelBug-Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974719934652737928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-89816942901011360022014-03-11T07:09:29.877-07:002014-03-11T07:09:29.877-07:00Looks like a nice hike, it's amazing how we so...Looks like a nice hike, it's amazing how we sometimes don't take the time to be tourist in our own home areas. When we moved to VT we made it a point to visit the many covered bridges that are there. I think we ended up seeing over 80 of them, went to places some folks living there all their lives had never been.Faye N Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630343244281603759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-32984896931572413122014-03-10T18:22:16.078-07:002014-03-10T18:22:16.078-07:00That sounds like a fine hike, for you and Craig, t...That sounds like a fine hike, for you and Craig, that is, not for Dave and me. Glad you enjoyed it. I would have enjoyed the museum part of the walk. And no, I didn't know that's why San Jose named its newspaper the "Mercury News"!Carol Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428623116947826625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-1793467149019979982014-03-10T18:04:39.378-07:002014-03-10T18:04:39.378-07:00I grew up in that area of San Jose.
