Sierra Foothills - Hiking Inn-to-Inn along the American River
The American River starts high in the peaks of the Sierra Nevada. It winds and crashes through deep canyons down to the foothills where it eventually is tamed to form Folsom Lake. Released again, it flows wide and powerful to meet the Sacramento River. This moderate 66-mile, four-day walkabout starts in the foothill town of…

Hiking Grizzly Island
A small herd of tule elk bounded out of the trees and into the marsh. All males with impressive racks, they splashed through the shallows startling egrets and sending a flock of ducks aloft as they raced to an open field and disappeared.
Grizzly Island, 8,800 acres of marshland is a…

Hi-
We did not receive anything on the 12th. Could you resend to azdavisfamily@comcast.net and azdavisfamilybusiness@gmail.com? Thanks so much, looking forward to receiving this info so we can begin planning our trip!
Thanks!
Mike
Tom--Do you have experience with anyone using your books and asking about two things--Sending a box ahead to a final destination so they don't have to carry everything on their backs; and also about how people transit back to their rental car which they left as they began their journey inn to inn? My friend and I would like to use your book (very good, BTW) but need to see if these two things are possible. I assume we can check with our final destination hotel for my first question; but the transport might be an issue. Lyft on the coast of California? thanks, Sue
Hi Tom,
Thanks, I did receive the books. They were sent to my old address. My friend and I will be taking two walks this summer--from her place in SF (staying at the Marin Headlands Hostel the first night) to Pt. Reyes and, later, from Malibu to Newport Beach. Thanks for the inspiration!
Best,
Damon
Thanks Tom for the quick reply. Someday we may do the Northern hikes, but since we live in Southern Cal (Orange County), the Malibu to Mexico is much more practical for us now.
Well, you have convinced me! We will do your Walkabout The Marin Coast - Marin Headlands to Point Reyes in March of 2009. I did purchase your "Walkabout" on the hike and wonder if you can tell me where I might find detail trail maps for this hike. Your map on page 2 is a good overview, but I would like more detail. Wonder if you can help?
Best regards,Mike Marti
