The first hike was the 3.8 mile Poo Poo Point Chirico Trail [1], with 1760 ft of gain. This was also the first new trail for me since the end of 2013.
The other hike was another visit to Annette Lake [3], with 1400 ft gain over the 7.5 miles round-trip.
I’m thrilled that I’ve been on two hikes already, and it’s still February. They weren’t hard, long hikes, but I was outside for a few hours on the trail. This is after sometimes last year I couldn’t really walk at all without being in pain. There’s a wonderful person who’s dragging me outside.
