The Tuesday hike to Bear Creek Redwoods Preserve was very enjoyable. Within the first mile we were greeted by dozens of naked ladies (the flower that is, aka surprise lilies, probably a remnant of the homestead in this vicinity). We were then treated to a close-up view of two huge old growth redwoods. The 5.2-mile loop trail was mostly shaded and made for a great morning of hiking. David Shilton was the hike leader.

Sixteen of nineteen walkers this morning. Don’t miss Kris Carlsen waiving in the distance. Two walkers left early and Gordon Carbonetti was behind the camera.
