This was to be a long day. In addition the weather is supposed to be bad. At the end of the day we will be meeting Bob’s son, Billy Baker. Billy is in training for a big run around Lake Tahoe but will spend a couple days us hiking.The weather turned out to be good all day. The terrain was manageable so we had a good trek. We added some length to the days travel. This proved to be great because we were able to see some standing stones and stone circle. These were put in place some 3000 years ago during the bronze age.
One of the interesting things here are the microclimates. This area is subtropical due to the ocean currents. There are actually palmettos here in abundance. Today we went through an area that was like a rainforest.

I had no idea about the microclimates.
