I headed up to Castle Rock State Park yesterday for my second hike since breaking my ankle 3 months ago.  It was about 30 degrees cooler than my last trip up to Skyline Blvd and quite pleasant under the tree cover.  (Out in the sun it was still a bit warm).   The hike itself was a 6 mile lollipop loop, half of which had a good view of the San Lorenzo River watershed.  My ankle held up reasonably well, though the ridgeside portions of the route were fairly rocky and uneven.  I'm feeling much less sore today than on the day after my first hike.

For the rest of the summer I'm hoping to get out twice a week- once midweek and once on the weekend.  This weekend's destintation will be out to the coast to Butano State Park.
