YiY Hiking Group August’s hike was to amazing Big Basin. We are lucky to be living within driving distance of one of Nature’s wonders. Eleanor wrote about the experience: “As we drove through dappled shadows along a winding mountain road lined by some of the tallest trees on Earth, little did we realize that soon we would be lost in those same Redwood forests.” Email Tim at tim@spiralrelease.com (mailto:tim@spiralrelease.com) to get on the YiY hiking mailing list.
