Hiking No. 3 Pescadero Creek County Park

Hiking No. 3 on Oct 12, 2013

Imo-nim (Mike's aunt) who was visiting from Korea joined us for this hike. There was a vast flat land which looked like a perfect location to build our future house at the start of the trail (It even had a electricity tower conveniently nearby) and then crossed into Pescadero Creek and other trails. The trails were very zen-like (?) and peaceful with rich woody smells of redwood trees. We took many deep breaths to inhale all the phytoncides out in the forest. We had the trails all to ourselves except when we met a couple of horseback riders at the start of the hike and a couple walking their dog crossing the Pescadero Creek at the end of the hike.

The highlight of the trail was close encounter with a banana slug which was moving ever so slowly -- a perfect model for Mike's photo opp. Mike was so proud of getting a great frontal picture capturing both pairs of tentacles. Apparently, the larger (upper) pair are used to detect light or movement while the second (lower) pair are used to detect chemicals...

Can you see the two pairs of tentacles?
