Mt. Tam
As promised, the photo montage. As we ascended Mt. Tam on Saturday we were rather impressed by the incredibal vista of rolling fog coming in from the ocean. It eventually overcame our campsite, soaking everything in mist and chill. But prior to sundown it made a lovely site. Here are three photos:
When we arrived at the west summit of Mt Tam, we were surprised to find an enormous amount of debris presumably left over from a military instalation that once stood there. The foundations of dozens of buildings were all that remained. In the foundation of the highest building on the mountain, people had been constructing cairns for some time. We took it upon ourselves to construct the tallest cairn on the mountain, thus extending the summit by several inches. Here Mike poses next to the new summit marker.  And finally, here is the famed tourist club itself. Perched mightily above Muir Woods, the Tourist Club boasts three raucus parties a year, Junefest, Summerfest, and Oktoberfest. I highly recommend checking out Oktoberfest! It's bound to be a riot.  |
