Chi, William, Janice, Kit, my hubby and I went on a short camping trip last weekend @ point reyes National Park (http://www.nps.gov/pore/index.htm). It was fun, but really cold... I went on a camping trip before, but unlike the other time, this one was more "camping" outdoor... meaning, no showers, bathroom is 5 minutes away, no toilet flush...everyone's byproducts go straight down to the same hole. ahahha, Thank goodness it was a short trip! :D At night time, we had other visitors... raccoons coming to our campsite. You can hear them coming next to our tents in the middle of the night searching for food. They were really fat and chubby, I guess they were well-fed in the park.

It was a fun trip, just to get some exercises. We walked 2 miles to our campsite friday night. It was pitch dark without our flashlights. One can totally understand the meaning of "伸手不見五指"!!!! Saturday we hiked and walked around the beach (approx. 1 mile), we had a quick lunch and then hiked 2.8 miles back to our car. I was exhausted afterwards, (yes yes, give me a break since I've never walked so much in 1 afternoon)....

We drove back to the Bay Area on highway 1 near Stinson Beach. The road was scary with curves and hills. While I was driving, we drove down these secluded areas, where I thought in the back of my mind, I said to my passengers:

"Man, someone can be killed and they can just drive by here, and dump his/her body here without anyone noticing!"

"Yeah, that's true. U.S. is so huge that the missing person rate is so high everyday." Scary!!!
