Up Eagle Rock, 27th of June

Wednesday, June 27, 2018






Shadow Hikers. Cousin and I at the start to the climb up Eagle Rock. 

Only the beginning and we've already both lost our right arms, seemingly. Oh no!!😭 I keep saying it's the ALUM ROCK NINJAS hiding in the trees and the brush waiting to cut our big butts down, grrrr!!

(Nah... he's holding on to a bag and I, the camera.😜)




Dirt Squirrel. This little dude hovered around looking at me thinking I had some fish & chips to give. So sorry, my furry amigo. All I got is some green tea, bud.

Grass Squirrel. Then dirt squirrel's primo stared me down thinking why I didn't give his homeboy any leftovers. Look at him: this one's 'bout ready to scrap, frickin' rodent gang banger!! Ese, they got plenty of munchies at Capitol Flea Market.

Fox on a Tagged Parking Block. This, errrr...um... totally REAL FOX was run over on the ground right at the space of this parking block. See the tire marks? Yup, it's on BOTH the REAL fox and the block. So I placed the little dude up top like a king on his throne, ugh!! His misfortune now made his kingdom!😊😇

Sun Through the Weeds.

    The Tree Line.

The Top of Eagle Rock. You can see this tower from way below at the start of the hike. From way down there to yes up here, made it!!

    The Valley Seen from Eagle Rock. And here's the view looking out towards all of San Jose. Downtown is located just to the left of middle of the picture. Over to the right and under the sun you'll see the southernmost tip of the Bay sparkling in all that evening light!! Worth a hike up? Oh yes indeedy.👍



Eagle Rock from Below. Down back to where we started. Cousin and I hiked up over from the right side (east), topped it (red arrow), then back down the left side (west, facing the city). Funny thing is going up was chill, but when we went back down it was SOOOOOO short and comparatively EASY! Ahhh! Heheheh. I joked with cousin hiking back down was like taking a Super Mario Bros. warp pipe to the next world. 

<insert Super Mario pipe sound>

Oh by the way: Eat it, ALUM ROCK NINJAS! Not this time, muahaha! Your ambush tactics are no match for my skills with the sword!😋
