Day 116.

Walking day – San Rafael (12 miles)

First things first – today is the last Monday of the Walk!  We are officially on our one week count-down!

We have four “extra” walking days this week after that school cancelled, so Ma and I spent our first “extra” day walking the coast of San Pedro Bay in San Rafael (pronounced Ra-fell by locals).

This area is very popular among bikers.  It’s part of the Bay Trail – an 500-mile interconnected trail system that covers the shores of the San Francisco and connecting bays.  If I had known about this earlier, perhaps this would have been the SF Bay Wellness Walk instead…

At China Camp State Park, we ascended into the hills above the shoreline (incidentally following Shoreline Trail for the majority of our time there).  Even on a Monday, the trail was busy, and there was the added trouble of bikes and hikers sharing a sometimes narrow path.  That being said, everyone was very friendly today which always makes the day go that much better.

Miles walked: 497 | Miles to go: 3

I think we can manage 3 miles of walking over the next week…
