If you start at the Pomo Canyon Campground, you might have to add another mile, as when I hiked it, the campground was closed, and I do not know if it is permanent or seasonal.

Mellon University, calculated that reducing the miles travelled to transport food all the way down to zero, which is a nearly impossible goal, “would reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the food system by only about five percent, equivalent to driving 1,000 miles less over the course of a year. By comparison, replacing red meat and dairy with chicken, fish, or eggs for one day per week would save the equivalent of driving 760 miles per year. Replacing red meat and dairy with…

Our plan is to hike through Buckskin Gulch, past Boulder Jam, refill our water at the confluence, then finish our journey through Paria…

As the governess repeatedly sees ghosts throughout the estate, she becomes invested in protecting the children but is progressively concerned whether they have deeper…
