Mt Diablo with Bohdi (2009.03.07)

Took one of my tenants out for a hike at Mt Diablo this weekend, just to show him that the outside world is still accessible from the urban world if you just plan a bit and put aside the time to do it. We took BART out to Pleasant Hill and then took the bike trails into Mt Diablo and hiked about 75% up the side of it after doing some running around in the wet bottom hills dappled with buckeye tress. We did a little foreaging; pine nuts, miners lettuce, dandelion, but unfortunately no mushrooms that I am familiar with enough to snack on.

Oakland's just over that hill. The big one on the right is Sibley Volcanic Park of the Oakland hills.
