I would try it. It does look good.Surf conditions weren't great yesterday. This place is often packed with surfers and surf kayakers. The fog coming in looked picturesque, though.
I decided to have some Peruvian food for lunch. Do you guys like octopuses?
The fog/the marine layer was coming and going all the way down to Pigeon Point. Foggy one moment,. sunny the next.
On the way back I saw the aftermath of an accident that involved three or more vehicles.
I don’t believe I’ve ever had it.
Against the current; bow wave, wake, muffled sound of hard working diesels and not outpacing my run by a real lot.

Intalled an LED backup light bulb on the driver's side only for now so I can test it out compared to the stock bulb when it's fully dark. Here's some photos when it was still light out, so I'm betting the LEDs will be way better at night than the stock bulbs.

Those pine tree are likely close to 5,000 years old. They are in CA but not in the Bay Area. Those trees were already alive during the beginning of the Bronze Age!

I was not happy with the dim backup lights on the Mini. I installed LEDs. Then I got a backup camera and the LEDs were too bright. So I went back to the dim incandescent bulbs.
The Chandelier tree is a coast redwood. The Genera Sherman is a giant sequoia. Wiki says they are about the same height, but Wiki says the General Sherman is 33 feet in diameter and your picture says the Chandelier is 21 feet. Either way, they are magnificent living things.Like this one?

You and your Mini sure do get out and about! I like it!

The General Sherman
How wide was that lens? Are you trying to force me to dig through my pictures of big trees? I got pictures of both the Generals, Sheman and Grant, and some others buried somewhere. The bigger the tree, the smaller the nuts.

Not sure how old you are, vavaroom, but there was a mega enjoyable television host named Huell Howser. His weekly PBS show lasted for many years. He once did a show on the bristlecones.
My wife and I absolutely loved that guy. Sadly he passed away something like 15 years ago.
Look him up on Youtube. If we have nothing to do we watch his old shows and enjoy as much as we did when they were first run. What a character he was. Part of his charm was how he was so awed by nature and people's stories. That and how he'd say, "So you're telling me ". What a gentle man he was.
Check him out.

Howser with the drawl, RIP. Sure remember him and bowlegged Doug McConnell, the latter still alive today, from the '90s and 2000s. I met Galen Rowell in my mid-twenties while mountain climbing. He's dead, too. Helicopter crash in Inyo County.

Yep, Huell was from Tennessee and had the drawl to show for it. But he sure loved Cali.
You must be older than I thought! Wasn't Doug McConnell "California Backroads"? He was super enjoyable as well.
