Maybe they are all dreaming

President's Day was wonderfully sunny and wonderfully work free. Bill and I went hiking in the San Pedro County Park in Pacifica, Ca, to enjoy some nature and lack of muni buses. We chose the Hazelnut trail-- 3.7 miles one way, 200-1000 foot elevation climb, and described as "moderate to rigorous." Sketchy parts were the muddy parts, but about halfway in, you strike gold; Pacifica is no longer visible and that feeling of "shhhhhh" settles. Of course, we prattled on about Lost, which we have made the mistake of watching. From the beginning. We are on Season 2. No spoilers please.

Bill round about where the hike became pretty nice, excepting the mud.

At the apex of the climb (1000ft?), there was a nice bench. We sat and had some Kombucha and then... well, we like jumping pictures. The timing of my camera (and our lack of understanding of said timing) lead to these beauties. paydirt.

Pacifica doesn't have a ton of cool things, but another hotspot in that wee, weird, stuck in the 90s town is Gorilla BBQ. Definitely not for the faint of heart, these guys are only open as long as they have meat to cook. In fact, their sign says "if it's smokin,' then we're open." Bill says that it "destroys SF BBQ. Maybe even Austin." Neat.

I would like to point out that the plates of food seen here are intended as a meal for one. I'm hoping not, but we definitely got that impression. We ate this at 3pm, could not even remotely finish and were done with food for the day.

Yay Presidents Day! Hike, eat meat and watch Lost!*
* The next three days were spent eating salad.
