Beyond the bayou
Walking & Hiking
"I haven’t quite been around the
world, but I’ve been around the block.
I haven’t seen all there is to see, but
I’ve seen quite a bit." These are words
that one of my favorite singers, John
Denver, sang in his “Heart to Heart”
song. I think that I now know how he
felt. As much as I have seen in my lifetime, it would not have been enough
without the trip that I just completed.
And since it was with my daughter
and two of my grandkids, it was a real
bonus.
California! From the streets of San
Francisco to the Redwoods just below
Oregon, through the Napa and
Sonoma Valleys to the majestic
Yosemite Park, we saw it all
and will remember it always. If you have a
bucket list, then add
this trip to it. You can
ride along as I relive it
by writing about it.
Use what I did and
didn’t do to make
your trip even better.

Don’t drive across and back! Park and walk until you
are ready to travel north. The toll booth does not
accept cash! Fog is always a problem. Enjoy it by
taking a bus to the park on the south side.
