1-27 Carquinez/Crockett Hills

A bright blowy day between rains! Ten of us followed the advise of Phred and Elaine and headed to Carquinez Strait to see the Dirca in bloom. Not only did we see the Dirca, there were also Ribes and Osoberry and LOTS of mushrooms! And the mud was nowhere near as bad as it could have been. It was such a nice day that we added a bit of Crockett Hills RP to our walk. Mileage ranged from 3 to a bit over 3.25 miles

1/20 UC Botanic Garden

Seventeen of us were glad to have a rain-free Wednesday for our first get together of 2016. Since it was too muddy for our normal hike down Strawberry Canyon, we strolled around the Garden and then Lee McCaffree was our private docent for the exhibit of art work from the Alcatraz Florilegium project.

Wet

The first two Wednesdays in January have been either raining or threatening and regular walks have been cancelled. But, hurrah for El Niño, we do need the moisture!

Soup Day 12/30/15

Polly led 15  Wednesday Walkers on an exploration of stairs and pathways on the west side of Rossmoor. It was a misty, drizzly day and not at all warm. A perfect day for SOUP! Back at Jeanne's we enjoyed hors d'oeuvres, soup and cookies accompanied by good conversation. It was a very nice way to end the year.
