Coastal Trail off Conzelman - a lot of berries
The segment in Marin Headlands of the Coastal Trail west of the roudabout on Conzelman is very nice. I'm in the process of uploading observations from today (yesterday) but now iNaturalist is freezing. Also unfortunately the iNaturalist Android app photo GPS location bug is still active making it more difficult to make observations (I have to manually input the location name which brings up a very rough location on the map, then manually place the marker to the approximate observation location based on my memory).
Since I've been observing Clinopodium douglasii lately today is the first time I noticed it in multiple spots along this trail segment. I also observed what superficially appeared to be a Vaccinium plant loaded with berries and leaves much larger than the common V. ovatum. Hopefully I can create an observation for it tomorrow (later today).
In addition I did see a V. ovatum nearby with berries that are starting to ripen and there were also a lot of Symphoricarpos with white berries.
All the road-and-gravel bicycling in the Headlands is taking a toll on my bicycle. I just shelled out around $50 for a rear cassette (the gears on the back wheel). I was noticing the chain skipping the last couple rides and when I inspected the cassette today a bunch of teeth were missing, probably chipped off by a large rock.
The Continental Gatorskin tires I purchased not that long ago were eaten up and I spent a lot of money on slightly better Panaracer GravelKing Plus tires and Tubolito tubes which are a lot more expensive than standard tubes. Thinking of setting up a GoFundMe to finance bicycle costs so I can keep making observations.
