I was at the hangar after class until 11:30pm last night for the FSAE car. The motor controllers are cheap and have gone on the fritz. We need to beg a different sponsor for some new ones.
I went for a ride/hike this morning on Bishop Peak. I regretted not bringing my camera. I used the "proper/official" entry point this time and was very pleased with it. Not only is there a nice climb up a twisty, paved (in good condition) road, but the hike goes longer and through some nice oak forest. There are large boulders in the forest with lichen and moss and then you end up skirting around the big cliff face, sort of like a 1% scale Half Dome. You can see chalk there where people do climbing. I went off on several side trails (probably not really allowed) but did not find the cave that Dave and the girl last week mentioned. Being in that forest with the ferns, oaks, and big cliff there was awesome, and the weather was nice and cool in the shade. The trail does not end there, though. I went up to the top of the peak and sat up on the rocks for a while and pondered the FSAE suspension then came back home and did a little Solidworks on it.
And what was just as nice as the hike in the woods was the bike ride back down the steep, twisty, paved road.
I'm going to ask the girl on Monday if she remembers anything about where that cave might be.
