Richard Bainbridge led a hill hike, starting from the parking lot of the upper garden. The hike was along the Cougar , Richter,Oak and Buffalo trails to the Bay and Meadow trails. A renovation and partial rerouting of the upper Bay trail and Meadow trails has recently been approved by the VG&CC board and is expected to take place in October or November after the first winter rains. Since the upper trails are presently in poor shape some scrambling was anticipated there. Rich pointed out how and where the trails would be rerouted and widened to county park standards. Finally the hike led to the picnic area at the highest point of our hill lands.
