The Highest Place by River Rock

May 31st, 2010 12:13 AM / Location: 37.980045,-122.5815

INSTRUCTIONS: Go to the highest point of anything.

I have made up my mind to go to the highest point of the hill on which I live. It seems that when one lives on a hill, one ought to get to know its highest place.

I have printed a terrain map that shows both elevation and streets. The easy part will be the streets. After that, I don't know whether to expect a thicket, a No Trespassing sign, or a bare patch of rock.



It is a beautiful day.

Hi Princess Pixie,

The hill where I live is in San Anselmo, CA. It is in Marin County, a place I never thought I'd enjoy living (I grew up in SF). You can google it from my coordinates, which I have actually placed on the top of the hill.

yay!

This is excellent news. I remember oxalis from where I used to live. I guess oxalis is full of oxalic acid.
