I’ve been hiking with this lot for about 10 years. We originally met through a hiking club of sorts. Time flies.

Starting on Coastal toward Muir Beach (from Tennessee Valley). 

I love the rugged coastline in this part of California.

Beautiful Muir Beach. 

 

 

Almost there. Can’t wait for lunch!
