View from Hobart Bluff

Originally uploaded by Katharine B.

Grizzly Peak was still closed by snow when we went to Oregon earlier this month, so we hiked at Hobart Bluff instead. It’s not as beautiful a hike as Grizzly, but the view was all right. It was about forty degrees on the top of the bluff and windy as hell; it’s ninety-eight in Austin now. I’m wilting.

I’ll be going to Santa Cruz for the 2008 Dickens Universe in late July. I hear the mornings are cool there.
