Message from the Photographer: You probably don't know how much I needed this trip. I have been sick for 6 weeks now, and I have been stuck at home. I suspect the "cold" I had the first 4 to 5 weeks was most likely a COVID-19 infection. You can read about my last update here when I took a short hiking trip in Sycamore Valley Regional Open Space Preserve in Danville, CA. I haven't really been out of the house much since May (except to buy food and groceries), and my exercise time outdoors is quite limited. Luckily I'm vaccinated, so the symptoms were relatively mild, but I still had a few fevers, headaches, and severe fatigue for a month. I have also been dealing with a moderate breakout of what seems to be eczema. It's causing mild rashes all over my body, with 2 problem areas that is really severe. I never had it this bad before. I have been feeling horrible and claustrophobic, but I seem to be getting better now. My energy level hasn't completely recovered yet. Really happy to have headed out to the coast for a day trip. I seem to have gotten all the claustrophobia out of my system for now.
