I’m Katie, an artist, zinester, and creator of travelogues. I started journaling in 2012 while visiting national parks with my grandpa, as the only English-speaker (and person under 60) in a tour bus for Chinese retirees.

Almaden Quicksilver Park

The best part about living in South San Jose is that you are right up along the mountains. It can’t get any better than that! I’d take Northern California landscapes over Southern California beaches any day.

Alamaden Quicksilver Park is less than fifteen minutes from our house. There is a grueling uphill loop. We did it on New Year’s Eve. However, we went just a few days prior to hang out on a blanket. Is it weird to take a blanket to the forest, lay down, and read? We tried to stay a little bit hidden so that anyone walking by would not be put off by two weirdos on a blanket. It was a great day!
