Miles

I've logged a lot of miles this summer.

I did a quick estimate and figure I hiked about 250 miles between the first of May and the end of September.  Not too shabby.  Most of those hikes were in long, 10+ mile days too.  I saw some beautiful places and enjoyed the Yosemite backcountry immensely.

I also logged a lot of miles on my car.  She rolled over to 200,000 miles Labor Day weekend as I made my way to the San Jose airport.  I wasn't able to get a photo of the 200,000 or the even better 200,002 (I love palandroms) because I was on the freeway, but pretty close.  She's been a good car and I'm hoping she will continue to be so for at least another seven years or so.

I start my fourth week in the new job tomorrow.  I've spent some time over the past few weeks getting acquainted with the forest and especially my district.  There are a lot more miles to explore out here.  I'm hoping to post pictures of my new home soon.  As always, fellow adventurers always welcome!
