Thanks for sharing that link. On a tangent, I love these old university personal pages. In an age of impermanence, it's endearing to stumble upon web pages still up 20 years after they were made.

I've used the Arroyo Seco River Hike guide from another Stanford alum quite a bit:

And Ed Corbett's tide charts for the Bay Area are priceless (though I noticed he hasn't updated them for this year):

Casual nudity! On a work website. Love it.

edit: update looks like they're part of a community of nudist hikers, the South Bay Naturists. Nothing wrong with that, though bold to post about it on your work website.


Whoops, thanks for bringing that up. Luckily most folks in the States aren't at work, but let me email the mods.

To continue the conversation, I think that site was more of a personal site just hosted on Stanford--not necessarily a work site.
