Mt.Tamalpais-3-4 mile Summner Hike & a Great Picnic Spot (see photos below)

The early start/meeting time of 9:15 am is because the weather is heating up, an earlier start will allow for lower temperatures away from the mid-day heat.
In addition looking for more favorable conditions I've found a Mt.Tam location where the combination of Pacific Ocean breezes and forest shade combine to make conditions more favorable for summertime hiking.
Join for a 3.0 to 3.5 mile hike with mild hills and ups and downs. Not a loop hike today, this hike is out and back. For those who love rigorous exercise hikes this one won't do it for you.
Footing is typical with ruts, roots and other obstructions. If you haven't been walking at least 1.25 miles a day then you'll need to start a walking program before attempting a hike like this.
The actual starting point is four miles north of Rock Spring where we will reconvene by following my car to the hike starting point. We'll all first meet at Rock Spring to be led by cars to the Event's trailhead.
Please pack a lunch or bring take-out. A bottle or two of water. A hat and use sunscreen, the strong sun we now get is disastrous for skin. Dress to keep cool.
Wearing inappropriate footwear on these rugged trails and fire roads is asking for a sprained ankle. Don't risk it.
I've found a spectacular view, shaded spot, (see photos) for a picnic to relax and eat lunch. Be sure to join me if you'd like to, it's the highlight of the day. So bring a sandwich, pack a lunch and sit back and relax in a most spectacular setting. (I have a couple of portable picnic tables I'll throw in the car for picnic usage. photos coming below)

Some GPS directions may long route you on Bolinas-Fairfax Rd. This is about ten miles of no more then 20 mph road. From 101 that route will take almost an hour. Normally just getting off 101 and taking the correct route onto Panoramic Hwy takes about thirty-five minutes. So leave more time then you think at first glance.
We are not going to stand around in the hot sun waiting for late comers.
If you are late you will miss the hike.
