We headed Bay side with hope
of cool breezes. Meeting at the Bull Valley staging area on
Carquinez Scenic Dr west of Port Costa we walked a CW loop to the
town and back. It has been almost exactly 5 years (7/31/19) since
we walked this loop, altho we tried last September but the area
was closed then. There was a fire (6-23-22) which burned over 120
acres including a large portion of the eucalyptus on the water
side of the hills. They were clearing those burned trees last September. It was a good, if short, walk of under 2.5 miles
and the weather was about perfect!

06/26 Kings Canyon Tr from Valle Vista
After a week of hot weather, the fog was back this morning and hikers were digging for extra layers. Nine of us walked an out and back route of about 4.5 miles starting from the Valle Vista staging area and heading south along the Kings Canyon Tr. The water level is still high in the reservoir and things are surprisingly green in spite of the heat wave.
