What were some of the most challenging parts of planning the walk?
There was a little bit of a balancing act figuring out where it was possible to walk, what exactly I wanted to see and where I could safely and legally sleep at night. I was fortunate enough to get a lot of help along the way. East Bay Regional Parks, Santa Clara County Parks, and others offered me free lodging. But a lot of those parks, especially in the Bay Area, typically don’t allow overnight guests. And if they do, it is usually groups of 75 or more for Boy Scouts. I would find myself sleeping in these expansive campsites with no one else there. It was kind of bizarre. What did you find? How has the landscape changed? There are numerous differences between Muir’s California in Rambles and California today. He described the fresh air of the east bay; today streets like Mission Boulevard are crowded with cars, fast food restaurants, auto body shops, and paved surfaces. The valleys and canyons Muir described are cordoned off by gates and fences with threatening warnings to trespasser
