@ianRobinson I’ll have to check that out! Do you know if it’s one of the Apple TV screen savers as well? I love quite a few of those.

@CoastalCoasting Well I parked at Arcadia as the sun came up and was the first person there. The Hug Point parking area is closed and blocked off currently. I got a state park pass so I hope to visit more. It is very pretty here!

@jalley Thank you J!

@von I don’t mind the mud too much but the highway was better than dealing with the same muddy sections.

@TrailTurtle Probably just the normal mud, I’ve never hiked the section before. I only had to duck under one tree. I hiked from where the OCT crosses 101 on the north end of the headland to the Short Sand Beach trailhead. The north side is a bit overgrown, but nothing major. Thank you for working on the trails, much respect! I really need to use my volunteer days off of work this year.

@killyourfm I enjoyed reading your post and completely understand your desire. A nomadic life sounds awesome. If I didn’t have a family and the need of a full time job to take care of them, I would want to do the same. I stopped collecting things many years ago. 95% of the items in my place were purchased by and for others.

@__hetz Thank you for the advice! It’s fun to learn new things. I’ll try again on my next weekday off in a few weeks.

@__hetz My plan was to try to manually crank the engine with the pulley still on to visually inspect the belt. I didn’t have enough leverage to turn it and ran out of time to buy more tools. I am going to get the Honda pulley holder to get the bolt out when I do the timing job for real. It’s famously difficult. I already have the large 1/2 Icon G2 ratchet and impact 19mm socket. If that doesn’t work I will have to buy an electric impact.
