Sanford Dish Loop Hike
On 15-Nov-2023 despite predicted afternoon rain, Jim Koski led 9 hikers around the 3.5 mile Stanford Dish Trail. The government-owned 150′ diameter radio telescope was made in the early 1960s and was initially used to provide information on Soviet radar installations by detecting radio signals bounced off the moon! It’s still used today for research and spacecraft calibration and is operated by SRI International. Afterwards we had lunch at the historic Rossotti’s Alpine Inn beer garden, in Portola Valley.

Big Basin Hike
Nine Club members saw first-hand how Big Basin Redwood State Park’s forest is recovering after the distructive August, 2020 CZU Lightning Complex fire. Almost all of the tall redwoods have green branches emerging, amazing since a docent said flames were sometimes twice as high as the trees! Jim Koski led the 3.2 mile Rambler hike with about 500′ of elevation gain. After the hike, we enjoyed lunch at the Big Basin Cafe in Saratoga.
