4 Gaviota Wind Caves, Goleta CA
https://www.trailspotting.com/2025/04/gaviota-wind-caves-goleta-ca.html
A highlight of touring the California coast, the Gaviota Wind Caves hike explores curious wind-worn caves high in the sandstone hills.

In the foreground, the rugged cave entrance frames the view like a natural window. Jagged rocks and rough textures create a contrast with the soft light filtering in from outside. A large, gnarled tree stands proudly just beyond the cave, its branches stretching out like welcoming arms. Its leaves are a mix of deep greens and golden yellows, hinting at the arrival of autumn. Sunlight dapples the ground, casting playful shadows and illuminating patches of lush grass. Beyond the tree, a serene valley unfolds, with rolling hills covered in a patchwork of greenery. The distant mountains rise majestically against a backdrop of a crystal-clear blue sky, dotted with a few fluffy clouds.

Good day!

In my endless quest to find Riparia’s rock along the river, this is the closest I’ve come (a Kovenlore Chronicles reference).

Speaking of which…

Only TWO chapters remain to edit in Book3. Today’s, unfortunately, has some issues. I’m weary, but almost done.

First, I’ll walk…

Be everwell.

A huge boulder sits partially in a broad river’s current at the bottom of a steep slope. Brown grass and brush cover the bank. The sky isn’t visible.

Parc national de la Gaspésie, Chic Chocs, Quebec.

A rocky trail through stunted spruce trees at high elevation with gentle mountaintops extending out to the horizon in the distance. Mosses and low lying boreal plants line the edges of the trail.

Good day!

THREE chapters remain to edit in Book3.

I had a flashback yesterday, a moment of irrational fear when I questioned if my next breath would be there.

It was.

That wasn’t always the case. Once you’ve taken a breath & there was no air, you never forget.

I’m grateful for each one.

Be everwell.

Pink and white wildflowers starting to bloom against a backdrop of green and brown brush.

Wildflowers are starting to bloom on trails, and I run out of exclamations.

Early morning autumn footbridge, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. October 19, 2019, 8:48 AM.

A deep blue sky with a few streaky thin clouds. A dazzling morning sun reflected in the lake below. The lake has dozens of lily pads. The far shore is densely wooded. The branches of a pine and a hardwood covered with bright red orange leaves are top left. A wooden footbridge just ahead crosses a small arm of the lake. The far end of the bridge leads into a grove of tall pines with more gold and orange hardwoods.

@universalhub I'm very impressed by the work Miles and other hikers put into https://www.bostontrails.org/ -- the project is inspiring, and the website is nicely designed.

(Also, if anyone here uses #Bluesky, can you nudge @milesperhoward.bsky.social to bridge his account to the Fediverse?)

Good day!

FOUR chapters remain for me to edit in Book3. Yesterday’s was hampered by nearby construction that even overpowered my headphones.

I finished.

Today, more construction? I’m prepared. I’ll walk, edit my blog post, & tackle a chapter.

They won’t stop me.

Be everwell.

Across a vast pasture of brown grass, mixed forest gives way to foothills and then mountains still covered in snow. The sky is gray.

Good day!

It’s difficult to get up when there’s a soft, purring creature snuggled tight to your chest.

FIVE chapters left to edit in Book3.

When I walk this morning it’ll be freezing. The nights remain cold, the days mild.

I’ll then draft this week’s blog post, part two in a self-editing series.

Be everwell.

A fairly simple picture. An almost perfectly straight trail cuts through brown and gold grass with dense evergreens to either side. The sky is gray.

Part 2

Good day!

Whew!

Left home at 8:05, streaked across town to the pharmacy, made two stops on the way back, & was on the walking trail at 8:53.

Time to drink more water, make tea, & edit.

On the walk, I saw birds. They were doing bird things in a bird sort of way like birds are prone to doing.

Be everwell.

An older woman in a pink hat, dark sunglasses, pink down vest, and purple and black jacket smiles at the camera, a grassy slope behind her.

Good day!

SIX Book3 chapters remain to edit. Counting down is but one of the things I do to fuel my motivation.

I’ll grab a prescription at the pharmacy when they open, then walk.

I’m so ready to hike. I’ve never pushed as hard at editing as I have this month.

Be everwell.

Looking downstream, a stream passes through a forest where the trees are still bare, but some of the grass along its banks has turned green. Several trees have fallen across the stream. The little bit of sky visible is gray.

Ich war Fahrradfahren.
Es war sehr schön!
Und etwas anstrengend.

Dresdner #Heide mit den Jungs.

Heide Trails, Jumps, Drops, Gaps, Sandgruben, Kuhschwanz, Jumptrail.
War mega. Das erste Mal auch anspruchsvollere Sprünge und Drops mit dem neuen Fahrrad.
Tolle Zeit. Tolles Gerät!
