It's really bad enough that we get news about oil price hike more five times a year. But now it seems this War related to Iran has gotten even worse than before. They were videos that vehicles like cars, motors, etc are lining...

A dangerous walk?

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 1 Sep 24

We did a one hour wark through the Wilabalangaloo Reserve on Sunday morning. It was lovely with lots of scenic spots, but there was also this warning on one of the tracks that was blocked off. Would you be tempted to try this or...

fuel prices rising

stanley777 @stanley777 (9401) • Philippines 28 Jun 22

I guess this is happening around the world. The prices of gasoline and diesel have been increasing every week and there seems to be no stopping it. I wonder what our government will do about it, they say they'll give...

I miss hiking

Jeanniebugs @jeanbug23 (992) • Philippines 21 Jun 22

In my younger years, say, my 30's, and 40's, I used to hike with my friends and my late hubby in Baguio City. I love the trees, wildflowers, wild birds, and wild plants. I usually talked to the trees and birds as I passed by...

Took a nice hike today. But...

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 17 Apr 21

There's always a butt, and there's always a but. Today, my hiking partner and I took a nice one in the Berkeley hills in Tilden Park. A couple of highlights for me were getting a tom wild turkey to gobble back at me, guiding two...

Today's hike: Almost Ireland. But not quite Ireland.

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Feb 21

The grass is getting greener in the East Bay hills near Mt. Diablo. But it is not quite at the "looks like Ireland" stage. We hiked today and found only more California Poppies. No Indian Warrior or Indian Paintbrush yet. I...

We took a new hike today!

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 13 Feb 21

Today, my hiking buddy and I climbed some hills in a city called Richmond California. Richmond is known more for gun violence than pretty views, but if you're close to the shore, the are some nice areas with cool views to the East...

It's supposed to hit 74 F here today! Buwaahaahaa!

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 16 Jan 21

I typed that just to make those of you facing Winter jealous. It's a sunny and clear day, and I'm off to take a hike with a friend. It's still in the 50s as I write, but it should warm up while we're on the trails. What are you up...

Too Pooped to Cook

DianneN @DianneN (254926) • United States 14 Jan 21

It was very mild here today. Hubs and I took a picnic lunch and hiked through the woods to our favorite waterfall. We took a long walk this morning, too. When we got home, we both took a little snooze while reading. Voila!...

A Horse, a snake, and the Darwin Awards.

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 28 Dec 20

The other day, my friend and I were out hiking. He's a bit more anxious about wildlife than I am, and I had just assured him that the rattlesnakes were all sleeping, when a rattlesnake-like critter crossed our path. It was about...

Off to hike in the fog today

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Dec 20

My friend and I are taking a hike today in the Mt. Diablo foothills. Actually we'll be going in at Black Diamond Mines, and searching for a rock cave where (legend has it) someone used to live. The fog has rolled in from the...

Would you walk into a mine shaft?

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Dec 20

My friend and I took a hike at Black Diamond Mines about a week ago. They were coal mines in the 1800s, and then sand mines (to be turned into glass in Oakland) in the early 1900s. Most of the old mine shafts are blocked off...

The Horse gets to interact with one of his own!

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 29 Nov 20

Since my horse passed away, five years ago, I haven't had the chance to interact with "my own kind" that much. The stable where she lived shut down, and my horse friends were dispersed all over the Bay Area. Yesterday, on a hike...

Funny jokes, dinner posts, error messages and gone hiking.

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 21 Nov 20

Had my first cup of coffee brewed, my shorts on, checked to make sure the sun and sky were still there (they were), fed kitty, and sat down to MyLot a bit. Error Message. So I went and got my laundry out of the dryer, came back,...

An interesting hike with a friend the other day

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 2 Nov 20

My current hiking buddy, Rob, and I took a hike at the Berkeley Bulb the other day. It's an interesting place. It is largely landfill, with huge slabs of concrete complete with boot-grabbing rebar everywhere. It used to be a...

Is this picture upside down? A photo from our hike the other day.

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Oct 20

My buddy Rob and I took a hike around Lake Anza in Tilden Park the other day. Tilden is situated in the Berkeley Hills, adjacent to suburban (and wealthy) Orinda CA. There was no wind, and we were struck by the calm of the water,...

A cool picture from my hike the other day.

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Jun 20

I mentioned that my friend and I took a walk along the bike path the other day. We kept it slow and took a few pictures as we hiked. One of my favorites was this shot we took of a flowering "prickly pear" cactus. I learned years...

We saw gardens!

The Horse @TheHorse (238317) • Walnut Creek, California 31 May 20

Yesterday, my friend and I took a bike path walk that took us between suburban back yards. We saw a few cool things, lovely flowers, bougainvillea hanging off of wooden fences, and thunder clouds looming in the distance. But...
