Can’t imagine I’ll get any hiking done this weekend, as we’re moving to our new place. Next weekend, though, I should be all settled in and ready get out there again. If you need some hiking bloggage, check out Gambolin’…

So it’s back to real hiking this week: up-and-down slogs, feet slipping into creeks, sticks poking me in the face. The first three sections of the Sauratown Trail run west out of Hanging Rock State Park — notable for its…

Tanglewood Park
Another stroll at Tanglewood

Nobody asked me to document the Sauratown Trail, and I’m sure the last stragglers among my Bay Area readers wish I would move on to sexier terrain, but I feel like this stretch of dirt deserves bloggage. The trail itself…
