On Monday, January 30 at the monthly meeting the club experienced a delightful presentation. All the recent rains foreshadow a rebirth of life in our outdoor spaces. The meeting program featured a visual and descriptive presentation by John Trudeau. Here we see close-up views of some of the simply beautiful bits of nature that we encounter every day – if we take the time to look. There are images of “critters”, plants, rocks and other expressions of nature here in the East Bay hills and beyond. We will see how different patterns in nature are expressed in surprising ways – when we look closely.
Today’s golf course walk, despite the very cold weather saw 12 hikers participating. They had a great walk throughout the golf course for a distance of almost 4 miles with a beautiful blue sky and sunshine making for content hikers!
On Jan 25, John Petrin led 11 ramblers on a 6-mile hike from Cribari Center to Evergreen Square and back. Most refreshed themselves while at the Square and all hikers returned intact!
On 18-Jan-2023 Wate Bakker led a hike in Coyote Lake Park. They parked at the boat launching site and went up the Calaveras trail to the Harvey Bear trail and back down on Coyote Ridge trail. It proved to be a pleasant sunny day. Lots of flowing water. Green hills in all directions
The Hiking Club again celebrated New Year’s Day at the top of our tallest hill, at 2,300 ft. The Ramblers hiked on the lower hill trails to the picnic tables at the intersection of Sky and Ohlone.
