This post got held back for several weeks because Beylah stole my camera with all the photos in it.

After a quarter mile of concrete road it eventually turns to dirt at a ranger station. You then have a choice, follow the hikers trail, or the equestrian trail. I honestly don't know which one I recommend. The Hikers trail has better views and is all around a nicer trail, but you really have to watch out for ticks. I saw several hanging off tall grass which was hanging over the trail waiting to jump on to the next hiker. The equestrian trail however is fairly dusty and weaves between agricultural fields, the buzz of farm equipment and loud people ruins the atmosphere, but you won't get Lyme disease....

Around the twin redwoods campground I ran into a team of firefighters who I talked to for a couple minutes. They were practicing laying line throughout the forest I believe as part of a large scale exercise. I would later see a fire helicopter doing training exercises driving over Highway 17 back towards San Jose from Santa Cruz.

After arriving home though I ended up needed to upgrade my Macbook Pro to OS X Leopard which would set me back about $120. Fortunately upon arrival I ran into an old co-worker from my retail days selling books at Borders who gave installed it for free.
By the end of the day I had interviewed for a job in Marin, hiked in the mountains, had lunch in Santa Cruz, fixed my computer in San Jose and fell asleep at 8:00pm.
I'll have another job interview with the Mid-Peninsula Open Space District this friday which would be an absolute dream job, I grew up stomping around in their parks and would love to work for them for awhile.
