As we worked our way up the side of the hill, my brother realized he was too
tired to get to the top. It was his fault, and had nothing to do with the
fact that the rest of us are sorely out of shape. This is the view from the
highest point we got to, about 1000' up from where we started. This is
overlooking downtown San Luis Obispo.

We wound our way around the hill for more views of San Luis Obispo. After
doing most of my hiking in Washington, I was surprised at how different the
scenery was. I grew up in SLO and thought all the dead grass was ugly, but
during the hike I really appreciated the gold touch it brought to the hills.

This is zoomed in to the little lake in the previous picture. I have no idea
whose lake it is or actually if it's anyone's at all, but it sure is pretty.
|
Here is some of the native flowers that were in bloom during our hike. Again,
very different from what we have in Washington but pretty in their own right.
The tweaky stuff in the sky is where the film didn't advance quite right.

Before we left, I made sure to take a picture of Bishop's Peak itself. If we'd
managed to get to the top, we would have ended up on top of this rock, about
1700' up from where we started. I guess
it's good to leave a goal for next time.
