Ten hardy, dedicated hikers completed an 8 mile loop with a 1200 ft. elevation gain among the Redwood trees and along the running creek near Felton Ca. led by Nancy Rumple on September 21st. We walked in the rain part of the way and had lunch at the top inside of a giant redwood tree. The gurgle of the creek water,drops of rain, and interesting sights made for a memorable experience. Afterward we all gathered for a fellowship supper at a local restaurant in Felton.

It was a beautiful, sunny but cool day on 9/11 when 10 of the ramblers toured the historic San Jose Mission after a 2 mile hike around Lake Elizabeth in central Fremont. Afterwards we enjoyed some delicious lunch and coffee at the Mission Coffee Roasting Co’s back patio.

The long hikers did a 7-8 mile hike below Mt. Umunhum from Hicks Road . We hiked on mostly shaded trails with an elevation gain of 1200 ft and enjoyed lunch on Bald Mountain. The Ramblers enjoyed hiking on the same trail but didn’t go as far. It was a nice day with a great turnout.
