| Feb 11 Sat 3C hike Marin Open Space ridges. Enjoy a loop that follows the ridgelines of Marin Open Space District. We begin at Mill Valley Golf Course and climb to Blithedale Ridge, loop into King Mountain for lunch, and return along Corte Madera Ridge. Spectacular views and a great chance to explore an area of open space many have never seen. Moderate pace. 13 miles with 3,000? elevation gain. Return by 4 pm. Heavy rain Cancels. Meet: Depart Mill Valley Golf Course 9 am SHARP. Directions: exit west on Blithedale Ave off highway 101 and drive west past Park School. Turn right on CARMELITA, proceed uphill past stop sign at Thalia. Turn right on BUENA VISTA AVE. At junction of Buena Vista and MANOR go left uphill to the Golf Course and Club House. Park above club house (left spur). Address is 293 Buena Vista Avenue. Katy and Brad Christie. | |
| It was unseasonably warm and bright as we started laboring up from the improbably located Mill Valley Golf Course. But a layer of smog reduced the distant vistas. | |
| If there was a keynote to this outing, it was the attitude of prayer over the opaque sacred texts. |
| But we found our way to the panoramic lunch spot on the Kings Mountain loop, right on schedule. |
|
| After more consulations, we found our way to the Ladybug Trail and Baltimore Canyon. |
|
| Coming up the Barbara Spring "trail" I started to think about calling for a belay. But it got worse before we staggered to the top. |
|
| All things come to an end eventually. While the clergy argued the scriptures, the congregation picked out the city through the mists. Finally we circumvented by circumnavigating the golf course back to the cars. |
