I just finished a great 8.5 mile loop through Rancho Canada de Oro and Calero County Park (photo), but that's not the subject I wanted to address. On returning home and settling in to do my computer stuff for the day(after taking a shower of course!) on checking my email I noticed I had received the new Newsletter from the Open Space Preserve organization. It occurred to me that many of you may not be familiar with this great organization and their great newsletter. Of particular interest in this edition was a listing of the next couple of months of docent lead hikes that they offer (for FREE!). This is a great opportunity for those less experienced to get their feet, I guess I should say dirty rather that wet. It's also a great way to learn a bit more about the flora, fauna and geology that you more experienced hikers see all the time. Anyway you can sign up for the emailed Newsletter at http://www.openspace.org/news/newsletter.asp or you can just view the current issue at http://www.openspace.org/activities/default.asp. Either way I guarantee you'll learn something and probably have some fun while doing it. Check it out.

Out on a hike at Almaden Quicksilver and was surprised to see a fair amount of new green growth as a result of the very modest fall rains. Lots of mosses and fungi and even a fair amount of grasses sprouting. of course this is mostly happening in the shady areas though it does seem that the trees look a bit greener an the leaves less saggy ( admittedly then green part is probably just a result of the rain washing the dust off). Anyway a great time to get out and hike inbetween storms, clear crisp air and clean plants. bc |
