Briones hike

Karen, Dan, and I went to Briones Regional Park today. We had a very nice five plus mile hike while finding 6 caches in two quads.

I chose Local Highlights (GCV2ED) in the Walnut Creek quad, and Alhambra Headwaters (GCG8DK) in the Briones Valley quad.

New Year’s day in Morgan Territory

Today Mark, Annmarie, and the girls wanted to go hiking, so I suggested a few places and they liked Morgan Territory. We parked at the main parking area and then took the Molluk trail on the west side of the road. The wind was a little stiff on the ridge tops, but it was clear enough to see a whole bunch of the snow topped Sierra crest. We got far enough out that I could make a quick run for Ma Morgan’s Territory (GCG3G7) and claim it as a quad completed for the Bay Area Quadrangle Challenge.

Hayward, hard ones

Dan, Janet, and I went to Hayward to hunt the Wickander series. Only found 2 out of 5, but it was a neat hike down a creek in an urban area with so many trees and brush you couldn’t tell.
