Mt. Madonna Revisited

I took a day off work and visited Mt. Madonna County Park in Gilroy with Judy. This was my third visit to Mt. Madonna this year. It’s like I can’t get enough of it. The trail reveals something different every time I visit there. We ran into lizards crossing our path, a couple of banana slugs, and a dead rat. Judy jumped more than a foot in the air at the sight of the rat. I was really stoked to be out in the woods with my favorite partner and running in my favorite trail in the middle of the week.

Running in the woods with my new backpack from REI.

Judy is pumped!

You always have great pictures in your blogs. What do you carry for a camera?

ToshiMoshi says in response to Steve Carton:

For my camera, I use Nikon coolpix 5200 my parents got me for my birthday in 2005. I used to wrap it in a towel and put it in a plastic bag to make it waterproof. I thought it was an ingenious idea, but my girlfriend felt sorry (for the camera) and got me a new camera case. I shrink my pictures 25% of its original size when I post them up on my blog so the page loads faster and because I think people will freak out if they see me any larger.
