Now that the kiddos are back in school, let's find some time to take in nature and get a little exercise at the same time. RSVP betty@winnacker.com and I will keep a lookout for you.
Update: Depending on the weather forecast for Friday, I may cancel the hike at Anthony Chabot and choose something at a cooler location.
Monday, September 21, 12:30 PM: Don Castro, Castro Valley
Walk an easy, 1.28 mile loop around Lake Don Castro. This is a fun, easy adventure for those of us with AM kindergarten students looking for a way to burn off that post-school energy. Meet at the lawn near the parking lot.
