General info - this website has no commercial content and visitors are not tracked. 

The website is admittedly an outlet for my writing & editing compulsions, aside from taking & messing around with digital photos. Well, I'm a history nut, too.

Intellectual Property Dept. - except where cited (e.g., web photos), all images shown on this website were taken by me, and  I am responsible for any comments regarding the photos or destinations, but you'll find no controversy here. I strive to get historical info right, usually via correlation from multiple sources.     

Security Dept. - This is an unregistered website, and I'm pretty sure visitors consist mostly of family & hiking friends. Both my PC and the (elkgrove.net) server are regularly scanned to insure security.

Something new - If you notice the "Not Secure" label (or black triangle) at top left of your web browser, it ONLY means that this site is not authorized to conduct financial transactions, and no other security risks are implied.    

About Rich - Since the mid-90s (when we had adjacent cubicles in the same office), Rich has lead an ever-changing group of hikers from Sacramento on a monthly trek to such interesting places as the East Bay Regional Parks, or Point Reyes National Seashore, or the Sierra Nevada mountains. 

In addition, since 2006, a group of 10+ hikers journeyed to the beautiful Eastern Sierra, usually for four nights out, staying at elevation in cabins or other accommodation. We missed a few years but the tradition continued until fall 2022.  

As I've had posted for years - if not for Rich's hikes, my photo-pantry would be almost bare. 

In fall 2023, Rich had to retire from hiking and he is living comfortably at home with his capable wife, Linda, not far from Auburn, Ca.

Privacy concerns come in degrees, with nuances, all of which are acceptable to me. Should you be the subject of one of my photos and prefer to not to be shown, just let me know.
