Jack and I went for a hike in China Camp State Park about 5 minutes drive up behind our new house - stunning! We parked at a small trailhead that led us up a fire road through some undulating open fields. Forests of trees and granite outcrops bordered the track until we reached the peak - the views back down to our house and over to Oakland and the San Rafael Bridge were awesome. The tip of the Golden Gate could just be seen rising up over the Marin Headlands. The sunlight was fading fast so Jack led the way back down the path, stopping every foot to check out animal tracks and hunt for 'clues'... his first proper hike, he loved it. Lots of eagles but no deer, mountain lions or coyote despite Jack's tracking skills!
