Gordon Carbonetti led a hike along the Arrowhead Trail in Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve in Morgan Hill. Nine hearty hikers braved the summer heat and hustled to complete the trek by 11:30AM to avoid the high afternoon temperatures. Congratulations to all.



On a beautiful morning, another Villager, Rick Kline, completed his first hike to the top of our hill. Accompanying Rick was his neighbor, Gordon Carbonetti, and four others. Here’s a picture of (L-R) Gordon and Rick at the top. Congratulations Rick!

20 hikers again this week got a lot of steps in by 10am!

Five tough hikers made it to the top of our hill on a very warm day. Hikers L-R are Gordon Carbonetti, Barrie Carson, Charley Lucas, Nancy Mori and Joan Cheung. It was Barrie’s first hike to the top, so Congratulations Barrie!

Over 20 Villagers enjoyed their 1st Golf Walk of the Summer of 2025! Welcome back Pam Thompson, former leader of many hikes before moving to Arizona.

Beautiful walk and weather. Cheryl photographer.

Six rambler hikers went to Alum Rock Park for a four-mile hike. The weather was beautiful with a cooling breeze. We ran into a group of deer. After the hike, we stopped for lunch at Lee’s Sandwiches. Their sandwiches were built on bread fresh out of the oven. There were unique veggies such as carrots, daikon, and cilantro. They were delicious. John Zang and Mimi Rong led the hike.


11 of us walked nearly four miles with beautiful weather. Cheryl Allmen was the sweep and photographer.
