This is my backyard in Saratoga Springs.  After a recent rainstorm, the northern creek somehow turned to chocolate milk.  If I ever get a reasonable weekend, I’ll take some more photos of the area– it’s pretty amazing.  I’ve always been a big fan of woods on the east coast, but the forests out here definitely give them a run for their money.

Down the road from Saratoga Springs are a number of redwood parks — Big Basin among them.  Most of them aren’t dog friendly, but I pulled a list from bahiker.com of the few that are — luckily, one of them has a trailhead only 100 yards from here.  Hopefully blackdog and I can wander around there this weekend.
