Recently I found myself in a situation where I wanted to bring in a specific upstream commit into a forked repository. Although these repos share a common history, the two repos had diverged enough that it wasn’t a straight-forward cherry-pick between branches. Instead, with clones of the two repositories I managed to cherry-pick as follows:

In late 2017 I flew to San Francisco for a very short work trip. I then had one day spare where I headed out with a friend to Muir Woods and the Marin Headlands.
Below are a few photos and videos from the trip.
Below is a few snaps from a walk I did to the Red Hands Cave near Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains in late 2017.

The photo gallery below shows the highlight of the trip.

Some of the highlights from the year are shown below.

This is disappointing because for fans attending the track as it is one of the few venues with excellent viewing opportunities right around the track.
Below is a small selection from my last visit to the venue in 2017 and a clip from the race start that year as well.
