What's here?

• Mount Diablo - On April 27, 2003, Kim and I finally got around to climbing Mount Diablo. We hiked the grassy western slopes, along Moses Rock Ridge. While the summit views were a bit uninspiring on this cloudy, blustery day, it was still a nice hike.

• Joseph D. Grant County Park - on November 1, 2003, we took our first trip to this county park, which stands in the shadow of Mount Hamilton, east of San Jose. While we hit the place on a rather gray day, the park has some decent topography for hiking/running adventures, and should sport an impressive view of San Jose on a clear day.
