Rambler lite walk to LeBoulanger, Cheryl Allmen was photographer.

Since there was a tournament, 16 walkers hiked around the rim of the Golf Course. Great weather and conversations. Marie Buck went midway and Cheryl Allmen was the photographer. Great time was had by all.

Twelve Rambler hikers, led by John Zhang, explored the scenic Wilder Ranch State Park on July 16th, enjoying a four-mile beach walk filled with natural beauty and coastal charm.
We began our route by visiting Wilder Beach Lookout, followed by Fern Grotto Beach, and finally arriving at Sand Plant Beach. Along the way, we walked atop coastal cliffs on the trail, looking down at the powerful waves crashing below and observing lazy seals lounging on the rock. The coastline was beautifully shaped by rocky coves, revealing a striking landscape of unique rock formations and dramatic ocean view. It was a refreshing and inspiring day out by the sea. After the hike, we went to Cafe Brasil for a tasty and unique lunch.

19 walkers plus Shadow, the cute dog, at today’s golf course walk.

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!
