Dry Dusty Tunnel Trail

November 8th 2015
Our last few days in California were a bit hectic so I have some back tracking to do. During the whole time we were here the region was hit by a terrific heatwave with temperatures regularly hitting the high 90's F with no rainfall to speak of.

Still Crazy

We both travelled and worked in Spain, which is where we first met, back in 1971. Things back then were quite different, no plastic card banking or internet to smooth the way. Our travels were put on hold for a few years whilst we brought up our two children. They now spend large chunks of their life exploring the world. In in our mid to late 50's we decided it was time we took up travelling again and this time write our own travel blog. Hope it can compete with the younger generations.

Fires R Us!
I lived for years on Tunnel Rd and daily hiked up Tunnel Trail, and I'm thrilled that you love it! However, I'm in Peru because another fire raged through our canyon, destroying 60 homes (I was evacuated because of wildfires every year I lived there). A shady trail is San Roque Canyon, which goes over a saddle and connects to Tunnel Trail (where I passed Richard Gere the last time I did it). Happy hiking!
