9/21 Hoo-Koo-E-Koo Tr.

10 of us started from the end of Crown Road (Kentfield, I think). We followed the Hoo-Koo-E-Koo Trail to the junction with the road of the same name, had lunch, then retraced our steps. It was warm in the sun, but pleasant in the shade. Just over 3 miles.

9/14 - Pine Canyon from Castle Rock Park

It was a lovely day to wander in the Mount Diablo foothills! 13 of us started from Castle Rock Regional Recreation Area and walked back Pine Canyon. Sylvia and Meadow turned around after the first mile.  Mis-communication meant that the original plan to only go as far as the picnic tables at the junction of Stage Rd and Little Yosemite Trail had to be changed. A group of four went on past the junction with Burma Rd before turning back; the rest of us walked nearly to Pine Pond before turning around. Distances were approximately 4.2 and 4.6 miles.

09/07 Hayward Regional Shoreline

A hot day inland and a warm one even by the Bay! But 14 of us enjoyed a leisurely walk along the Cogswell Marsh at Hayward Regional Shoreline. Jeanne hiked with us today for the first time since last fall! and John was back from his summer in London. The tide was out. Shorebirds were busy in the mudflats. There were even a few flowers. 2.6 miles.
