Next Hike: Sat Apr 7 Marin Headlands (Bill)

Some WMers will be camping at Marin Headlands.  We will meet at the parking area on the left side of Conzelman Rd. near Battery Spencer.  This is the first large parking area heading up the hill from 101.

If coming from the south, cross the GG bridge and exit at Alexandar Ave and turn left.  You'll turn left, go under the freeway, then stay to the right.

If no parking there, you can park at the larger lot at the bottom of Conzelman Rd. on the west side of 101.  From there, take the Coastal Trail up to the road, then take the road a short ways to the parking area.

We will meet at 10 am.

We'll hike the Coastal Trail to the Slacker Trail and climb to the viewpoint above the GG Bridge (930' elevation).  This will be 3 miles round trip.

Then, we'll return to the parking area and descend 1 mile to Kirby Cove for lunch.  Here we can hang out, explore the beach, etc.  Those visiting for the day will then return to the parking.

We can also stop and see the sights at Batteries Spencer and Wagner.

I'm not sure if there will be "day use" visitors as there will be critical mass at the campsite already.  But please let me know if you plan to come join us for the day.

Bill

    Re: WAIST Management Elkhorn Slough kayaking
    Hi All -

    A belated thank you to everyone who was able to make it for our kayak  
    adventure. It may be the last time I'm asked to lead a trip again, as  
    I had some difficulty getting us out of the creek and back to the  
    slough. I was more than a little worried that there was a mutiny  
    brewing. Thanks to Steve for uploading the great photos!

    Take care,
    Dan

    Re: Daily Digest 147 - W.A.I.S.T. Management
    Hi Everyone -

    Here's the list I have for our kayaking adventure tomorrow:

    Bill Law
    Michael Hunt
    Anne Quincy
    Steve & Stacey
    Mimi & Dan

    I think that's the complete list, but let me know if there are any  
    changes. Carpooling is a good idea, of course, and we could easily  
    take two more people in our car. If we can leave the South Bay by 9  
    AM, that will get us down to Moss Landing about 10 AM. If you'll be  
    driving, a Google Maps search for "Monterey Bay kayaks moss landing"  
    will show you their location. The actual address is 2390 California  
    Highway 1. Make sure you've got the right one, as they also have a  
    rental facility in Monterey. I think Monterey Bay Kayaks will be  
    better for us, over Kayak Connection, so let's meet there. It's very  
    easy to find, just past the Little Baja store. It may be worth  
    reading over the info on the Shutterfly site, in terms of what to  
    bring, and let me know if you have any questions.

    See you tomorrow!
    Dan

    Fellow hikers, I don't know if Linda's note went to anyone else but I plan to hike.  I'll take the helm in her place.
    Let's still meet at 10 am at the trailhead at the end of Sneath Lane.  Who else is going?

    Dear Folks- I was all geared up to go for Saturday- alas- I have developed a "medical problem" that has me off work this week and unable to sit/stand/walk for a prolonged period of time. I'm okay, but on a codeine/antiinflamm atory/ice regime.

     I will not be able to attend/lead the hike. I was looking forward to it.

     Have a good one. Catch ya at the March hike.

    Linda, sorry you can't make it.  Speedy recovery!

    Fellow hikers, I don't know if Linda's note went to anyone else but I plan to hike.  I'll take the helm in her place.
    Let's still meet at 10 am at the trailhead at the end of Sneath Lane.  Who else is going?

    Greetings WAIST MANAGERS from Chicago. It's a brisk 14 degrees here today, but sunny. Have a great hike at Sweeny Todd tomorrow. I hope to join you in person for at least one hike in 2010. Miss you all. -- Pam Mc.

    Boy; it wasn't supposed to be that difficult!  If you sign in to Shutterfly (using the email address registered as a member of the Share site), then you should see a big "+ Add location" button on (close to) the map on the Calendar page.

    I'm guessing that not being signed in is the problem.  In general, you want to be a Shutterfly member and sign in when you get to the WM site so you can contribute stuff.

    Subject: Adding hikes to the map

    I added a map on the Calendar page (click on the big Calendar button beneath the page header).

    Hike leaders should add (or edit) the map location corresponding to their hike.  Bonus points to the first 3 leaders who figure out how to do it!  (BTW: "bonus points" make you eligible for valuable prizes.)

    If you figure out how to set the location so Google maps knows exactly where we'er meeting (e.g., the parking lot), then people can click on this map to get driving directions (thus saving you from having to otherwise communciate them).

    I added a location for the February hike, pointing to "Sweeney Ridge" (it may need to be refined to point to the parking lot where we're going to meet).

      That's interesting.  It turns out you didn't do what I was expecting.  What I was aiming at was building up a comprehensive map with all the hikes: see http://waistmanagement.shutterfly.com/calendar; the map is on the right.

      It looks like Scott added a location to the map for the March hike.  BTW, I think putting the date in the event title and the leader's name in the event description is a good convention to follow.   But he still gets an A for effort.

      Michael, you get a B+, maybe.  Having the map link in the calendar entry is a great idea, also.  I hadn't even thought of that one.  I'll try to write up an "Instructions for Hike Leaders" and put it somewhere prominent.  I'll add that to the list of recommended things to do.

      I didn't actually say you'd *win* a valuable prize.  You will become (more) eligible to win (that is, earn additional chances to win).

      Bill,

      Eureka, I think I done did do it!  Add the map, that is, to the calendar for the Briones hike on Aug. 7.  Check it out.  When do I get my valuable prize?  I admit I couldn't figure out how to add the map from the August calendar entry to the one on the right-hand side that has the 3 locations you already input.

      Hi Bill, GREAT site you have here! I love your photographs. Wow! I saw you signed my Guest Map - thank you! It is fun to see what others have done to their sites. I wish I saw the nature that you so beautifully captured through your lens.
      I also saw your comment regarding the Scrolling Pictures on Share Central - makes more sense than mine did. Feel free to stop by my site anytime.

      Bill, I did not take pictures at Gina"s but when I get in the groove of picture taking I will post them. Thanks for the directions. We did talk about Bristle Cone . Is Raleigh in the car or can I take his place. If he is Jay and I will take my car. If not Jay will go on his bike . Mike says we eat out most often.

      Also, the pictures of the white mts are beautiful.  AQ

      Hello Fellow Wasted Managers,

      I just got back from a great week visiting Paul (Pablo) Ridge in Mexico City with Senor Jay (Jota) Krauter.  He sends his regards to all.  I am happy with either the DeYoung Museum or the Academy of Sciences but I think the Academy will be more crowded since in opened recently and could be full of kids.  

      Hi Sarah, when is the Angel Island camping trip?
