kayaking with my old friend Jeff, from my college days, and a neighbor
We went on a hike to Lookout Mountain, and came across a lot of snow on the way. This is a photo taken of the space where the snow melted above the trail

Jeff trying to entice his dog, Shaina, to join him on the kayak. Shaina was not interested.
We finally got her on the kayak, but not for long

The road takes you over a 9300 foot pass (about 3000meters). there is still a lot of snow
Views from Highway 299 to the coast:
I decided to continue my theme of staying off the large freeways, so I took highway 299 west to the coast.

It was a great month. Thank you to all of you who have followed my journey.
My next travel blogging will be in April, 2012, when I lead my 8th grade class to Turkey.
See you then. Bye.
