Las Trampas

I had to drop the kid off with his dad in Sac-a-tomatoes for Thanksgiving. On the way home I stopped by Las Trampas Wilderness Are in the hills above San Ramon for a short walk. After hiking up, I ended up in a cool trail that led right across the peek of a mountain.

Back to the hill

While on my week long Thanksgiving staycation I took a few walks up in them hills with the pup.....

Sunnyvale Baylands

One day I took a short walk at the Sunnyvale Baylands park. It was OK, but I'd rather go to Alviso or the Palo Alto Baylands than return here....

Sweeney Ridge

About two months ago Jacob's dad was visiting San Francisco for a few days. On Saturday I had to drop Melissa off at work, drive the kid to his Dad in SF, and then pick up Melissa at work later that night. I needed to find something to keep the pup and myself occupied all day so we went for a long walk. After searching the internets for dog friendly parks I settled on Sweeney Ridge off 280. It was a paved trail up a mountain to a Cold War era Nike missile station. It is also the spot where the first Europeans sited the San Francisco Bay.

Not part of the missile site, just some antenna...


The trail cuts through some very thick chaparral. It must have been a very tough trek from the Pacific Oceanup to the top of the mountain....





The Pacific Ocean is down there somewhere....


Now the good stuff....
