When I was in better shape, I made a 14-hour hike from the foot to the
summit of Mount Diablo and back. What was fascinating was the
temperature difference between the shady/windy side and the sunny/calm
side. A good moisture-wicking shirt and a light jacket made all the
difference. Ahh, good times, wish I was back there again.

By the way, I'm at 317. I guess I'm in "maintenance mode" for the
moment. I accidently cut my foot on 12/1 and it became infected. My
doctor asked me to walk as little as possible... I'm seeing her again
today. I plan to ask about alternate exercises like swimming.

I've done that hike before....it's really tough!

I like the backside hike to the falls, which can be seen this time of
year to early summer, and it's not quite so hot. The last time I did
it, I got poison oak, though. Bleh.
