It's getting cold - sort of. the water is not more than mid-'50s. It's time to pack on 15 pounds so I can comfortably make it through the cold season. A surplus in calories and higher than-normal carb intake gets me there in a month. In-N-Out for starters. Two cheeseburgers and fries.
Off to Olompali state historic park. This used to be a ranch and in the '60 the place became a hangout for The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin. It then became a hippie commune and in the '70s it became a state park.
Saltbox building where a blacksmith once lived.
Two other historic structures
Wild turkeys were aimlessly looking for ovens!
I walked the trail that meanders through the compound. It's a typical coastal landscape with many oak trees.
I had to walk off the fries at least partially so I drove up to the parking near the summit of Mount Tamalpais. You can see the observation tower at the peak from as far away as San Francisco.
A carb-fueled, swift 4-minute run got me to the summit. The trail does not go straight from the parking lot to the summit but it zig-zags around half of the mountain.
View of the Bay Area from the summit. You can see Tiburon and Angel Island, Mill Valley, and Sausalito. Also Alcatraz Island, Treasure Island, the East Bay, and SF. The tallest building you can see in the SF skyline is the Sales Force Tower. A hideous thing. I couldn't tell the Moon was partially in the shot when I took the picture.
I then took the scenic highway to Hwy1 and to Stinson Beach.
I felt a bit peckish and got myself a split hotdog for good measure. I ate it while sitting next to the outdoor heater because it was getting nippy, Skippy.
The sunset at Stinson Beach was quite nice. To the right you can see a little bit of Bolinas.

The , "tubes vs. louvers", axis baffles me.
Is it like football (real men) vs. baseball (sissies who won't play in the rain) repulsion?

When you find and see some barely cracked open louvers you'll understand better.
Also when you see people pooping pants over nice louvers you laughWhen you find and see some barely cracked open louvers you'll understand better.

Some new plates for the collection. Thanks to my parents for taking me to the antique store today that I asked if we could go too. Well mostly my dad lol mom wasn’t interested but insisted on tagging along
. They had tons of baseball gloves and equipment, a few license plates, a few Volkswagen and baseball things that I wanted but they were too pricey for me. These tags were a little expensive but I hid the price from mom because she was already mad about coming because nothing old interests her lol. I paid $20 for the Virginia antique plate and $15 for the Texas motorcycle plate. The cheapest Texas motorcycle plate I could find on eBay or online was $75. Condition isn’t bad but not the best either but I’m ok with it. Wish the Virginia would of been a set. I went ahead and got it because the black antique plates are somewhat rare as they will not fit on a lot of vehicles because the corners aren’t rounded and they are a little bit longer. So for example they would not fit on our van as the front has a factory tag bracket that’s shaped like a tag and the back they would not fit on either so we would have to get the yellow ones if we wanted antique plates for it. The black ones would fit on my truck. This number is similar to the one that used to be on our Alpha Romeo. I wish my dad would not have left the plates on it when we sold it but oh well. All the other license plates people had were a little overpriced but it’s understandable being at a antique mall. Still didn’t find the North Carolina watermelon plate that I’ve been on the hunt for for along time. Thanks to my friend at work for telling me about this place. I haven’t been in there since I was just a little kid. For those wondering this is Charlottes Web Antique Mall in Salem Virginia so if you are in the Roanoke/Salem area stop by. Great people and really friendly vendors when they are there. I was looking at some hot wheels cars and the vendor was there and my mom said that’s too high to pay and the vendor said well ma’am these are somewhat rare here these over here are rare limited edition ones. She just walked away but I kept talking to the guy and apologized. I actually seen a few there that I still have in the package that I never opened the guy said if I want to sell them he will buy them. I’m especially happy about the VA plate. I wanted a few of the baseball gloves but license plates and tools are my primary collection stuff so I decided I’d wait on the baseball gloves plus most were in really bad condition. They didn’t have any tools I needed for my collection it was mainly hammers which I have too many of lol 
. Plus they were $$$$.
