The Chances

For a New Years Day activity, I hiked out to Feather Falls today with the Sacramento Hiking Meetup group. We had a great time, the weather was wonderful, and I finally got to go to the top of the falls.

More importantly, I had no problems at all with the hike. I was tired on the way back, sure, but nothing like in the past. This is good news!

It does tell me I need to do some stairclimbing, or something similar before Half Dome this summer. I'm sore! But that's okay.

Anyway, a few pictures are in order, of course. Here's our group, prior to leaving.



Even though they tend to not change, here's the falls.


And here I am, at the edge of the falls, or at least as close as I was willing to get.


Finally, the edge of the falls. This is the view through a chain link fence that has a million warning signs saying not to get too close. I didn't.


All in all, a great day. I love this place!
