Five happy hikers (these 4 plus the photographer) and a dog had a lovely walk along the Old Mine Trail out of Pan Toll parking lot.
Fog rolled in and there was moisture in the air, but it didn't faze the hikers
who shared lunch at a damp picnic table back in the campground.
Thanks as always to Frank Valone for getting us together for these wonderful excursions.

Seven foks, several of whom had never been to Alcatraz before (despite living in the Bay Area for decades)
boarded the boat to Alcatraz ~ now a national park ~and toured the former prison there
with the help of headsets and a well-done, eye-opening audio tour.
After several hours on Alcatraz, the group went for lunch near Pier 33
and continued to enjoy sharing time together.
Thanks to Frank Valone for organizing the adventure.

Rev. Lisa's mix of visual meditation, "awe walk," and poetry prompts
brought deep and meaningful sharing to the surface for many in the circle.
Judging by the gratitude expressed through words, hugs and smiles on everyone's faces,
Rev. Lisa declared the workshop a success.
