"Hey, where's my party?"

Preparing for the big celebration at Las Trampas Peak

Happy 100th!!!

From there, on to "Rock 3"
(The Man is regretting coming on this hike already)

Nice views of Diablo to one side ...

... and the SF Bay to the other

Next destination ... can you see the typo?
(the bird poop is a nice touch)

They put in picnic tables at the plateau just below the peak!

All the rats came out of the woodwork for this one

And a snake (appropriately) to greet us at Devil's Hole
