san simeon

Headed up the coast this past weekend on the new (to me) bike to my friend Mike's wedding reception on Hearst Ranch in San Simeon. I met Mike back in 2003 on a mountaineering trip in Bolivia and have him to blame for my ill-fated and short-lived ultrarunning career (just kidding, blame it on my shoddy genetics/biomechanics). The reception was held in the lovely, Julia Morgan designed post and beam dairy barn (turned party room). Interesting variety of mounts, which of course I felt compelled to capture.

contours in google maps!

Yes, I'm a giant nerd when it comes to maps (among other things). I love topos. Big kudos to Google for adding contours to their Terrain maps. Score major points if you guess the traverse of which these peaks form the start.
