today.
a daytrip the epicenter of the Loma Pietra earthquake (10.17 1989 5.04 pm, at which time I was hours in to celebrating my 25th birthday accompanied by the Aalborg posse at 1000fryd with three months of delayed educational support - the wonders of SU... ) just miles off our domestic turf. After a 6 mile walk through the breathing redwoods it was with some disappointment that the trail to the actual epicenter-site was cut off by undramatic mudslides, however so much that I would have to walk in a 3 feet deep creek the remaining 600 feet. However, in three weeks or so, the season will mean that the creek will almost dry out, so I`ll be back.
