After moving back to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1997, I discovered the Bay Area Ridge Trail and spent several months hiking all of that.
Over the next few years I hiked all the rest of the trail systems linking to the ridge trail, averaging 200-250 miles a year on day hikes that range from 6 miles when excessively steep, 12 when moderate, and the occasional 20 mile all day outing.
In 2001 I started photographing the hikes (see below), and in 2005 started digitizing them. The large image shows the work in progress, and the links are details of some of the regions, as well as the year we spent in Reno. In 2008 I hit 350 miles in one year, 366 in 2009, and hope to surpass that in 2010.
