Acknowledgments
50 Best Short Hikes: San Diego contains a large amount of adapted and updated material from weekly or monthly columns researched and written by Jerry Schad that have appeared in various publications over the past 35 years. Versions of some of the material are included in the comprehensive guidebook Afoot & Afield: San Diego County, available in a fifth edition revised by Scott Turner. This new edition of 50 Best Short Hikes: San Diego shares much of the same literary DNA with these other resources. I personally researched, rehiked, and recorded GPS tracks and waypoints for Jerry’s original 50 best hikes to ensure accuracy and reflect changes in trail and habitat conditions since the first edition’s original publication in 2011. Eventually, a total of 60 hikes were surveyed and 5 new hikes incorporated as replacements where construction projects or other impacts reduced the attractiveness of an original hike. My wife, Marilyn, joined me for a number of the shorter hikes and contributed support and encouragement throughout the endeavor. I thank Scott Turner for helping steer this opportunity my way and to Peg Reiter, Jerry’s widow, for endorsing my coauthorship role. Scott graciously shared his experiences and tips associated with revising the fifth edition of Afoot & Afield: San Diego County, joined me for several of the hikes, and corresponded regularly as we traded notes on our two projects.
While it might seem unusual to acknowledge a coauthor, I am compelled to reflect on the many great—and characteristically physically challenging—times СКАЧАТЬ
