Saturday April 1st, I went on Sonoma County Historical Society's 20 mile historical hike. Ouch, it was a long day on the feet! But worth it. Every year the historical society does a 20+ mile hike somewhere in the north bay. Last year it was through San Francisco, other years it's been on the coast, and this year it was northern Sonoma County.
Walking north along the vineyards
The hike started at 6am, walked through Healdsburg north to Geyserville, through Asti, and wrapped up with a dinner in Cloverdale. The hike was $75 per adult (10 for kids), and benefited the Sonoma County Historical Society. The hike was well attended by about 100 walkers. I'd say the average age was 58 surprisingly. I felt young (finally).

We were lucky enough to have the Healdsburg Historical Museum opened up for us at 7am, for a special tour. We headed to northern Healdsburg for breakfast at Big Johns Market. We walked adjacent to unused railroad tracks next to vineyards to Geyserville where we were served lunch at a winery park. We worked our way to the historic Italian-Swiss Colony Winery where we were give a tour and wine tasting. The hike wrapped up with a dinner in Cloverdale. Some of my Boy Scouts came and were able to sign off their 20 mile hike in the Hiking Merit Badge requirements.
