Skimblers like Gabrielle and Maria were working out in Marin at Tennesse Valley by volunteering with the REI community to celebrate National Trails Day.

Gabrielle had a great day working in the dirt, with this to say about the experience:

"An active and enlightening day in the great outdoors!  Thank you to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy team for organizing this and many other volunteer opportunities to green our environment."

Here's Maria "rocking out" with the president/founder of the American Hiking Society, Gregory A. Miller.

No matter what you did, we hope you all had a great weekend in the sun and didn't forget to Skimble!

We look forward to seeing you all next week at the Haight St. Festival.
