After hiking up Mt. McPherson, I went 7 miles up the road to hike the Long Ridge. There was still light out, but not for long!

Going up the trail as the fog lingered ahead.

This is how a trail marker looks in pure darkness!

Just 250 yards from the summit was a lookout flat, in which there were some nice views of the bay and a dimming sky. This was still on public land.

The summit, in contrast, was on private property, marked by this little oak tree. Don't ask me how I got this picture, as I do not condone trespassing and BREAKING THE LAW!
