Those places sound nice! When the spring thaw happens, I'm going to have to do some hiking
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I was right in the middle of finals week when I emailed you and time got the better of me.
In california, I lived in both Fresno (next to Yosemite and Kings Canyon national parks) and in San Francisco (numerous parks in the area). I used to go hiking about once a week. It was great to keep fit. I moved to the midwest for a job and a new adventure. I am definitely homesick for cali, but I like it here too. I am in school so I will be here for a while to come.
Anyhoo, hope all is well and happy new year. Feel free to add me to yahoo messenger as 'thickdiapers' if you would like to chat some day.
