Eight of us took advantage of a day of cooler weather with clouds and a wonderful breeze to revisit the John Muir Land Trust properties Dutra and Sky Ranch. We had not hiked there for over 4 years. Our main route was up from Franklin Canyon along Feeder Trail #1 which starts by the Franklin Canyon Stables. Then we made a counter clockwise loop along the ridge and had lunch by the dedicatory plaque. Ron and Sylvia took Oscar back after we ate, and the rest of us made an additional loop along part of the Tina Batt Trail. Mileage was 3.8 for the main hike with an additional mile for the added loop.
The quote from John Muir on the plaque commemorating the opening of these wonderful former ranchlands 20 years ago (June 1999) was perfect for today:
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, ...
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
