I'll see how i'm feeling; this weekend i probably still won't have the energy for much, but next weekend, i'm totally down with ripping the state a new one.

(Also, it's a good excuse to take the RX-8 out on twisties, yay!)

"i'm totally down with ripping the state a new one"

That would really be an Ano Nuevo (yes, without the tilde on the N..)

You totally walked into that one =)

PS: Not to invite myself along, but uh, I'd love to come along. I could pay my way by doing the whole elephant-seal narration for you, I've been there so many times I know all the fun facts. And it would probably be the first time anyone's sat in your car's back seat, Josh.

The punchline is that this is, in fact, exactly what we were planning to do. Where does one buy brown sticky tape?

You should go hike around Angel Island before it closes, mutter mutter grumble. (Never been there, always meant to go.)

Ooh, good idea. Haven't been there since I was a wee bairn when my dad had a sailboat.

Yeah, my parents told me about the Henry Coe thing... they're now intent on going to as many state parks as they can before the closures. But they did say something about the park's "closing" simply meaning that no rangers will be around and one could theoretically still get in.

It's a bit of a drive, but there's a smallish park they just opened a few years ago that has some nice (read: not all that difficult, no mountain lions) trails with great views of the Santa Clara Valley.

From their site:

How to Get There

There are three entrances into Coyote Lake-Harvey Bear Ranch County Park:

Bear Ranch - from U.S. Highway 101 in San Martin, take the San Martin Ave. exit. Proceed east on San Martin Ave. for 2 miles. the entrance to the park is on the left, one-quarter mile east of Foothill Avenue.

The county is thinking about keeping Henry Coe open using county resources (personnel), in order to keep people from hopping the fence and getting in - vandalizing, poaching, probably hurting themselves.

Coyote Lake looks beautiful, thanks! San Martin is really far, though, yeah.
