So we got a great tip from Jenny that the poppies were in bloom and that we better head out a see them before they fade. So we cruised up to Mount Diablo to see what all the fuss is about.
Well, the fuss was all about amazingly beautiful blooms, a fun hike and good friends.
We managed to stay most of the day hanging out with the Barlow's and Lauper's first, then following it up with another hiking round with the Edgren's and Blatter's.
Thanks to Annie for this photo.
So much fun. One of the things I missed most about Cali when we lived in Memphis was hiking around. When I complained to any locals the conversation usually went like this:
Me: I miss hiking
Native Memphian: What do you mean, we have forests here as far as the eye can see...
Me: (thinking...how would you know how far that is since your view is always obscured up by all the forests...) Well, all the forests are flat here.
Native Memhian: And...
Me: Well hiking involves some kind of elevational change. You know...you go up...then you come down. "hiking" here is really just a nature walk. I miss the mountains.
Native Memphian: Y'all Northerners are crazy.
Anyway, I love being closer to mountains. OK, Mt. Diablo is really a bump comparatively, but I can get carsick driving to and from, so that is just fine by me.
