grand jury report vealing the problem. the new models come with kill switches. we're in store for a beautiful weekend and a great time to take a hike. >> be warned if you take a lot of hiking, you cannot match the accomplishments of two people in the east bay. their story of determination and friendship. >> wendy and thomas have a lot in common. one they always loved hiking. another is that each of their spouses doesn't. it's why these two friends find themselves on the trail so much together and eventually on the journey that led right to tonight's bay area proud. the great thing about a good friend is that knowing all your quirks, they still want to spend time with you. thomas page for example can tell you all about wendy wheeler's obsessive need to highlight and catalog the trails these two longtime hiking buddies have covered together over the years. >> she wants to highlight things during the trails and i'm like -- >> in wendy's defense if she hadn't kept such good track, the pair might never have realized a pretty ambitious goal was within their reach. >> something just sounded like a cool idea. >> the idea? hike every mile of every trail in every park in the east bay regional park district. more than 1,200 miles in all. that because of spurs, dead ends, would take the pair more than 3,000 miles of hiking to complete. >> i don't even know if we said it. like, we should just, like, try to do all of them. >> wendy and thomas worked on their goal for more than a decade from the point when this were just one 30 mile away hike from finishing. but two years later, they still haven't. thomas, you see, has been beset by medical issues. blood clots mainly. that have limited what he can tackle. and wendy, though she could have completed this goal ten times over since then, flat-out refuses to hike those last miles alone. >> it's kind of our goal, not my goal. it's something we've been doing. you know, who cares if they finish in six months or a year or -- doesn't really matter. whatever you personally want to do, right? i'd rather finish it with him. >> thomas swears if the hiking boot were on the other foot, he would do exactly the same. >> yeah, it's going to be together. you know, can't -- you can't do it any other way really. >> it is apparently just another great thing about a good friend. they would go to the ends of the earth for you, just not the end of a journey without you. now, the good thing, you can see, they are hiking together again. the last 30 miles of the journey is the wilderness in the east bay and it's a pretty rough trail that probably will take an overnight stay to finish. so wendy isn't quite sure she wants to take on that the responsibility of having thomas on the hike that long but he's getting better and certainly when they do those last 30 miles, we'll tell you about it. >> we hope he makes a quick recovery. if you need more proof fire season is here, look how close this brushfire got to these homes in danville. nbc chopper overhead. it happened right before noon today near glen hollow road. thankfully, though, no injuries and no damage to any of those homes. just as a precaution, the warm weather
