Walking James to School for His First Day of College

James decided to go to college at UC Santa Cruz. Between our house and the home of the Banana Slugs is a mountain range full of open space preserves. In order to make the symbolic journey into adulthood and college life, he decided to walk to school, leaving from our front door, camping for 2 nights along the way, and ending up at his dorm room. He invited Amy to join the hike, and he invited Paul to drive the support vehicle packed with all his belongings. 

Two miles into our hike, we left our neighborhood and entered the wilderness.

Views of the hills and the ocean beyond

We climbed on cool rocks.

We also climbed trees (looking for geocaches).

Pretty great that James' belongings can fit into 5 bins.

So many redwood trees at UCSC

On the many-windowed second floor library, James gets to study among the trees.
