I go, I see, I do, I walk, I think, I like…

***June 5
– Almaden Quicksilver hike – went up and down Deep Gulch trail to the junctions of Castillero and Mine Hill Trails.

***June 12
– A week went by with no hike; things are getting busy at the end of the school year. Today I hiked up English Camp trail to the ridge and then down Wood Road trail to the parking lot. It looks like I could connect this hike with a route in Sierra Azul Open Space to create a 15+ mile hike to Los Gatos.

***June 13
– Yesterday I hiked from New Almaden to the Woods Road entrance to Almaden Quicksilver Park. Today I drove to the same location and continued on along the Wood Road trail for perhaps 3 miles. With more time I would have tried for the top of El Sombroso – maybe next time.

***June 26
– After a break of nearly two weeks (son graduated from UCLA and I had finals week at my college) I managed to get out briefly early this morning before going to a morning conference here in town. Hiked up Deep Gulch Trail at Almaden Quicksilver and got to the ridge; walked back to English Camp on the footpath and then descended via Deep Gulch.

***June 27
– In preparation for my upcoming pack trip I climbed Mission Peak in a fairly straightforward manner today, resting on the summit long enough to watch the start of the thunderstorm build-up over the Sierra.
