| Dog Napping #2 (Fairfax) - Marin County 2026 |
My old gym was the 24 Hour Fitness gym at Larkspur Landing (long since closed). Got some nice photos there!
These photos were taken just outside my current gym in Fairfax. Sometimes the dog is not napping!

| Fennel, Eucalyptus, Fog - Marin County 2026 |
Although I've posted several photos of Mt. Tamalpais on the blog there are none taken from the actual summit. So to fix that deficit I drove down to the Marin City Starbucks for breakfast last July, then headed over to Highway 1 for the drive up to the top. The marine layer was particularly dense that day - I had to pull over to the side of the road for some fennel and fog photos.

| Hunkys (Arcata) - Humboldt County 1997 |
 |
| Nilsen (Ferndale) - Humboldt County 1997 |
Odd. Far northern California photos on the same roll of film as Nevada and Truckee photos. In the olden times you had to watch how many rolls of film you were using . . . film was expensive!

| Andy's Diner - Truckee 1997 |
 |
| Wood Cabins - Truckee 1997 |
OK, so the very bottom of the diner photo had to be added-in using the Photoshop "fill" algorithm.
Not sure about the location of the bottom photo. Could certainly be Truckee, though . . . near the train station.

| Southern Pacific Diesels - Truckee 1997 |
 |
| Southern Pacific Tracks - Truckee 1997 |
By 1996, years of financial problems had dropped Southern Pacific's mileage to 13,715 miles (22,072 km). The financial problems caused the Southern Pacific Transportation Company to be taken over by the Union Pacific Corporation.
But as we can see, there were still Southern Pacific locomotives rolling on the tracks in 1997.

| Palm Sunday (Virginia City) - Nevada 1997 |
Virginia City is over 6000' elevation. Palm Sunday in 1997 was March 3, so there's a definite date for the bottom photo.

 |
| Hotel (Reno) - Nevada 1997 |
Scenes from a mini vacation we took in 1997 . . . stayed overnight in Reno and took a day trip to Virginia City.
 |
| Sheep - Humboldt County 1997 |
So maybe this was taken in Nevada. Photo is on the same roll of film as scenes from Reno and Virginia City in Nevada. But also locations in Truckee in California. And a few pix taken in Humboldt County!
Going to have to go with Humboldt County, I think. Photo has a northern California look to it.

| Buckeye Leaves - Marin County 2026 |
Top photo taken with an iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Bottom one with an Olympus E-M10 / Lumix 12-60mm lens combo. Pretty old, as such digital things go, but actually still quite serviceable. Light weight, too.

| Tent Drying Out (Fairfax) - Marin County 2026 |
I had an unfortunate tent mildew episode some years ago, so I always make sure to get the Big Agnes tent super dry before putting it away.
I got the tent in 2018, so I've had it for a while.
