Continuing my "Bike 100 Miles in June" challenge sponsored by The American Heart Association. On this day, I got 10 miles logged.
I rode my AiPAS E-bike (F3 Adventurer ) from our house to the Sharp's Ridge lower parking lot. I biked the Lincoln trail and up to the top stopping at the J.B. Owen overlook. A quick storm-cell passed in about 5 minutes.
I rode back down to the Hanover access and then back home.

Approaching a winding turn on the Cookstown Ontario section of the Trans Canada Trail. It was an enjoyable experience and would like to try it in the winter next time either snowshoeing or cross country skiing.

The train transfer from Anchorage to Seward was a highlight of the trip. Very scenic, informative and comfortable, it was an excellent introduction to the landscapes and peoples of Alaska.
Located in Wake County 10 miles northwest of downtown Raleigh, William B. Umstead State Park is a cherished retreat from bustling urban life. The park features an extensive network of hiking and multiuse trails, as well as three manmade lakes and their tributaries that are perfect for fishing. Both park entrances offer picnic shelters, and Crabtree Creek offers camping areas. Group camps and the historic Maple Hill Lodge let visitors experience a rustic overnight experience without typical modern camping amenities.
Since most of us we don't grow up with multiuse recreational trails in our backyard, the "rules of engagement" need to be more explicit. I like how the new [May 2009] Triangle Rails-to-Trails Conservancy trail map uses color to codes their guide, with rules in red, safely suggestions in green, and etiquette in blue.

Truly a multiuse trail. We saw tire tracks, ATV tracks, snowmobile tracks, moose tracks, rabbit tracks, dog tracks and people tracks. No tree tracks though. We checked.

Within the former French concession area of Tianjin were many brick-built workshops and warehouses within gated courtyard areas. Many have survived and are occupied, often by a multitude of families.

The Mill Race Trail from the town of St Jacobs in Ontario, Canada to the St Jacobs dam is a popular multi use trail in the area for both cyclists and walkers. Unfortunately, not all cyclists are aware of the polite way to share this trail with walking people hence the sign.

Mount Tamalpais State Park
Info from:
801 Panoramic Highway
Mill Valley, CA 94941
The panorama from
the 2,571-foot peak
is breathtaking.
On a clear day, view the
Farallon Islands out to
sea, the Marin County
hills, Mount Diablo, San
Francisco, and the hills
and cities of the bay.
CULTURAL HISTORY
Native People
The Coast Miwok lived on or near Mount
Tamalpais, staying near water sources
throughout present-day Marin County. These
Native Californians hunted small animals
and deer, collected acorns, and gathered
flora, marsh plants, and shellfish. They made
baskets and clamshell disk beads, trading
them for locally unobtainable resources,
such as high-grade obsidian from Lake
County tribes. The Coast Miwok had a rich
culture and a complex and intricate language.
However, their way of life changed soon after
the arrival of Europeans.
In 1770 two explorers, Captain Pedro Fages
and Father Juan Crespí, named the mountain
La Sierra de Nuestro Padre de San Francisco.
This was later changed to the Miwok word
tamalpais (tam-al-pie-us), which, roughly
translated, means “bay mountain” or
“coast mountain.”
Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway
Residents of San Francisco, whose population
exploded after the 1848 gold discovery, used
Mount Tamalpais for recreational purposes.
Trails were developed, and a wagon road was
built to the top of the mountain in 1884.
The Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railway,
completed in 1896, carried visitors to the
mountaintop and the Summit Tavern, a
hotel and restaurant. The slope from Mill
Valley to the summit was so steep that
the railroad had to negotiate 281 curves,
equivalent to 42 complete circles, billing
itself as the “Crookedest Railroad in the
World.” In the section known as the
“Double Bow Knot,” the track paralleled
itself five times within 200 yards. In
1907 the “gravity car” was designed to
transport visitors from the top of the
mountain to the redwood-filled canyon
of Muir Woods. Requiring only gravity
and a brake, open-air rail cars carried
passengers down the mountain to
Muir Woods at an exhilarating 12 mph.
The railroad and gravity cars allowed
sightseers to travel from Mill Valley to
the summit, down to the Woods, and
back to Mill Valley.
The Scenic Railway’s famous gravity
cars were popular until the advent of
the automobile and the construction of
Ridgecrest Boulevard in 1925. A gravity
car replica is displayed at the Gravity
Car Barn on East Peak.
Conservation Efforts
Over the years, millions have flocked to
the mountain, affectionately called “Mount
Tam,” to relish the spectacular views and
hike its trails. Generations of Mount Tam
enthusiasts have worked hard to protect
the mountain and keep it open to the
public. The oldest of these citizen groups
is the Tamalpais Conservation Club,
organized in 1912. In 1928 William Kent, an
ardent Marin County conservationist, and
his wife donated 200 acres of land in Steep
Ravine to help create Mount Tamalpais
State Park. The park was later enlarged
through the efforts of several hiking
clubs, led by the Tamalpais Conservation
Club. These organizations orchestrated a
grassroots campaign to purchase additional
land for the state park.

THE STATE PARK TODAY
Now one of the oldest and most popular
units of the California State Park System,
the park has grown to 6,300 acres.
Completely surrounding Muir Woods
National Monument, the park is bordered
by Marin Municipal Water District land on
the north and by the Golden Gate National
Recreation Area on the northwest and south.
NATURAL HISTORY
Geology
Many people think the 2,571-foot peak is
the remnant of an extinct volcano. However,
geologists believe that Mount Tamalpais
was created due to its location near the
San Andreas Fault, one of the world’s most
active faults. Over time, the mountain has
risen from the earth’s crust, while erosion
has left only solid rock exposed in the
highest peaks and ridges.
Common rock types here are graywacke
(sandstone), shale, greenstone, chert, quartz
tourmaline, and the easily identified green
serpentine, California’s official state rock.
Plant Life
The varied topography and soils of the
park support a tremendous diversity of
plant life. More than 750 plant species can
be found in the park. Hikers pass through
open grassland, chaparral, and oak-covered
knolls, or they descend through dense
stands of Douglas-fir and California laurel
into deep, fern- and redwood-filled canyons.
In spring the slopes of Mount Tam
come alive with the vibrant colors of
wildflowers. Hillsides are sprinkled with
California poppies, lupines, Douglas irises,
goldfields, and shooting stars. Spotted
coralroot, fetid adder’s tongue, and Pacific
trillium are among the plants that hide in the
deep shade of the forest.
The Redwood Forest
Mount Tam’s legendary Steep Ravine Trail
leads hikers along Webb Creek through
a stand of tall redwood trees. The sound
of rushing water prepares visitors for the
fragrance of damp earth and the sight of
ferns along the creek’s banks. The redwoods
form a canopy above the water cascading
over the rocks. Alongside the cascade, hikers
must climb a steep ladder to return to the
beginning of this beautiful trail.
Although the park can be foggy year round,
some scientists are concerned that increased
temperatures and decreased fog due to
climate change may threaten the survival of
the coast redwoods environment.
Animal Life
Raccoons, gray foxes, squirrels, bobcats,
coyotes, black-tailed deer, and mountain
lions sometimes roam the slopes. Bears
and elk once wandered the land, but they
vanished as a result of hunting and ranching
before the park was established.
Birdwatchers can view more than 150
species of birds within or very near the
park. Red-tailed hawks, northern harriers,
and turkey vultures soar over the open
grasslands by day, while the sounds of great
horned, spotted, barn
and screech owls fill the
night. The hollow drilling
of pileated, acorn, and
hairy woodpeckers adds
to the forest sounds. Along
the coastline, there are
numerous oceanic and
intertidal birds to identify.
