Butte-iful
Sunday, October 28th, 2007I’m a really bad student… This week I finished one project and was handed three more. Not pretty. Sometimes I’m not really sure what distracts me, but I’m usually pretty good about not playing video games with homework to do. My friends say I’m lazy and I don’t put forth enough effort. I guess the consequence of failure doesn’t motivate me…
I delayed this post on purpose however, because I knew I was going on a hike today(something different I could blog about). I hiked the Sutter Buttes, the world’s smallest mountain range.
Unlike the other places I have been in the past(usually national parks) this is actually privately owned by a couple of rancher families. Twice a year it is opened to a small group of people led by a non-profit organization. Once in the spring, and once in the fall.
Info note: The “mountain” on the far right with the antenna on it is(click for high res) the tallest at 2,117FT - and is the one that qualifies the Sutter Buttes as a mountain range.
The hike wasn’t too bad, but our guide was a bit… lost at times? Slow at times too, people would often go ahead of her only to find themselves going in the wrong direction. haha
The hiiiills~ are aliiive~, with the soooound~ of- no.
I took a crap load of photos for some reason. Probably because I look at these hills from the higher points of where I live occasionally but have never been able to visit.
Also, I find it fascinating how these hills stand out of the valley floor. Truly a geological anomaly.

Really nice weather helps too.
I was just waiting for a WRX to come screaming by while walking on some of the back roads.
That’s it for today I guess. Did we learn something today? Great! Now do your homework!
I’m one to talk…
