The Gambolin’ Man blog has another excellent hiking/nature/philosophy essay, this time about Gambolin’ Man’s walk to Tomales Point at Point Reyes National Seashore:
We continue past the photogenic row of battered old Monterey Cypress trees, nearing the end of their hundred year lifespan. The next big storm could do them in. The path then climbs modestly – there is very little elevation gain the entire length of the hike – to a crested hill at Windy Gap affording views of, on one side, the rolling countryside of western Marin County, and off to infinity on the other side, sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, McClure’s Beach, Driftwood Beach, and the curving shoreline of the peninsula with its rugged buttresses of dramatic cliffs dropping down from 300 ft. on high to the sandy beaches below, and farther beyond to Bodega Bay.
Definitely check it out: good writing and good photos will make you want to follow in his footsteps.
