The annual 4th of July camping trip has evolved into one of the best events of the year. Over the years everyone has been encouraged to invite friends, so now we get to know new friends of friends each year, and catch up on the lives of some people we only see this one time each year. Excellent hiking and biking, moderate temps - 65 daytime, 50 at night - while the rest of the nation baked in the heat, and a really nice drive down the Sonoma coast back to the city. Lunch in Mendocino, dinner in Petaluma.
