Crockett Hill Regional Park

Another new trail today with Bob and Bill – sharing it with nearly 100 Mt. Bikers on some sweet single track. Turns out the nearby high schools have Mt Bike teams..cool. Numerous Western Bluebirds, what we think may be a Hutton’s Vireo, a large Newt and the other usual suspects.

Christie Rd to Alhambra Valley Road

Another small segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail today with Bob. (the section in blue). Christie Rd near Franklin Canyon Golf Course to Alhambra Valley Road. Golden Eagle, White Tailed Kite, and several other raptors…I need a better camera! The coyote we saw last time messing with the deer was still around – as were the deer.

Feeder Trail #1

Feeder Trail #1 – A portion of the old stage coach route from Martinez to Richmond. Its a great thing that three guys who have been hiking these hills for decades can find new trails due to recent open space acquisitions. Thanks John Muir Land Trust.

Pinole Watershed

Third “mini-section” of the Bay Area Ridge Trail Bob and I have done recently. Pinole Watershed, first time here and so close to home. Coyotes, deer, several types of raptors, lamas, emus and a newt – not to mention the fossilized clam shells
