Mount Diablo

Today is my birthday, and for a present I took myself on a bike ride up Mount Diablo. It's a big mountain in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. It took about two hours of climbing, but was extremely rad. At the summit was this observation deck, straight from that old computer game Myst. It was a pretty groovy trip.

Whites started calling it "Mount Diablo" because they thought they heard the Spanish call it that

The Spanish actually called the mountain Cerro Alto de los Bolbones, after a local Native American tribe called the Volvon (Bolbones en Espanol)

The Olone Native Americans called it Tuyshtak, and they considered it the place where all of creation began

Another Native American group called it Sukku jaman, while yet another called it Supemenenu.
