California :-

Nov 22- 25 2018:

Had been to some places in this area long time back, there is FB album was posted wayyy later (for now was not even on Fb for almost a year, its good to take a brake from such things u even come to know of real thing the side benefit, blog is  the place where I dump information that's it).

Just a short quick break, hitting some trails and things kind of formality trip n'ways,  ... would have done longer trek and longer break given haven't taken in long time.

Monterey is beautiful place, as always the walk by the ocean front is nice but much nicer in flowering season. Further drive on the road leads you to many nice beaches and with your luck one can see wildlife. There are some nice hikes in bet. got so tired of wearing hiking gear, did it in dress up clothing ( only for a day)










Hiking around Los Osos park, some peaks & some other trails was nice with little rainy, windy, foggy weather and ran on some trails around.

 Glimpses instagram:







click to zoom ... were far out ....
Wanted to see Monarch butterfly migration since long time, knew about it and this time it just happened. 




Hiking around Pinnacles national park is delight and happened to spend just some hours exploring
various trails.Same thing happened for red rock canyon, IMO I feel one must have at least a day or two to really enjoy national parks. One can do other activities too in the park and also in towns and can have balance between hiking, other outdoorsy things and other in town things.

 


Just hurried some days touching some things .... as always miles of legwork and back. Surprisingly everywhere it was like no crowd whatsoever, given it had rained air was clear even after fires which happened.





Giving Tuesday, yes have been doing volunteer work with this org for a while and its always good to support the cause, both ways by volunteering and donating, thanks for invite had received long back & it was pleasure donating. Its always pleasure to volunteer for and help out.





 well finally the "fall challenge" medal...
