I just found another must do hike - Buckskin Gulch. Have you been there?
Where in the great expanse of Northern California are you located? I used to live in Klamath Falls, OR and was a chronic Shastaholic (climbed it 14 times). The Lava Beds National Monument was always a lot of fun to visit. Lots of lava tubes to explore.
Actually, I think it is great that California makes you wait so long to get a D. Lots can happen and I would be curious if there are statistics that show how many divorces are busted because of the longer wait. Here in Oregon, it is 90 days, but that can be waived if both parties agree.
