notes on a beaten path

We were driving on Panoramic Highway recently when Sucheta took this picture. I think it do good for BMW ad to show off its off-road capabilities and a catch phrase, "take the unbeaten path" or "defy logic".

There were some really neat bike trials with the panoramic views the area's name promised. We ran into quite a few bikers and they certainly seemed to be having fun. I thought the two anywhere-near-avid-bikers I know, Pohl or Deepak, would have gone crazy for a trial like this. Frankly I wouldn't have minded joining them!

It was almost 4pm by the time we reached Muir Woods and given the time of the year, it was dark and cold. But looking up, I could see the tree tops reaching out for the little sunlight that the mountains allowed. Needless to say, there were more trials in the woods and we ran into some in their full hiking gear. There was one 2 mile hiking-trial that took claimed to reward the adventurer with fantastic views of the pacific at its end. I need to get in shape!

Our final destination was Mt. Tamalpais and it was indeed a place to see for all those who want to look at things from a higher perspective!
