No, no, I’m not looking for money, sorry if my post came across that way! I’m dealing with a fun mix of lifelong issues coupled to more recent issues and can’t use my hands very well or walk or stand much. I do finally (finally!) have insurance through work and the worst of the issues are being addressed but it’s slow-going and I’m not young.
Sorry, I didn’t intend to be a downer in a fun thread about hiking! There are lots of places to hike in my immediate area, with the Berkeley and Oakland hills right nearby. San Francisco is practically all hills, of course, and Marin County has Mt. Tampalpais (lived at the foot of when I was a toddler) and other areas for lovely hikes and also gentler walks, such as Muir Woods. There are also stair-climbs that folks like to do for general exercise and learning about different neighborhoods and, for more serious hiking, we have the Sierra range and Yosemite. All great hiking and camping spots!
