In 2004 I headed up Mount Umunhum for the first time, hoping to conquer my last Peninsula summit. Unfortunately [I was thwarted by the private land which blocked the road](http:\/\/bob.ryskamp.org\/brain\/?p=2110), tantalizingly close to the summit.<\/p>\n

In other news, the famous red barn familiar to riders of Highway 84 West will soon become part of [the new La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve](https:\/\/www.openspace.org\/our-work\/projects\/la-honda-creek-master-plan), with 6 miles of hiking trails.
