NAPA THURSDAY. Hike and Dinner


Jodi had wanted to go for a hike, so we headed out to Mt St Helena, one of the tallest 'mountains' in the area.  We decided to hike to 'Table Top Rock', but much of the hike was done in a swirling cloud.

About a mile and a half into the hike we stumbled upon some mysterious rock formations.  First we saw cairns, but then elaborate patterns emerged.  Definitely human made, we were unsure if this was an ancient archeological site or perhaps a wild and previously unknown mountain tribe of California first nation peoples had created this wonder.  Or, perhaps, it was some California Hippies with too much time on their hands.




We investigated and found the answer.



After the hike we went to one more winery, then home for Jodi's night to cook.

Everyone found that cooking a nice meal in an unfamiliar kitchen was difficult.  Jodi's lemon chicken was absolutely perfect, but in the process she set off the fire alarm and the preparation was not without some momentary panic.

Below is a 4 minute video of the day.  It's rather funny as we caught the moment the fire alarm went off and Ken provided some excellent narration.
