On 7-13-2022 Al Girolami  led a hike in Ed Levin County Park. It was the second of the 2022 Magnificent 7 #PixInParks challenge in qualification for a commemorative T-Shirt. On a prior hike at Coyote Creek –Harvey Bear Park, 14 Ramblers qualified for the first; but it’s not too late for others to start the series. This hike is short (less than 2 miles) but rated moderate due a couple of 100 ft. rises. The route will be on a loop just west of Sandy Wool Lake on the Calaveras Ridge and Tularcitos Trails.
