First Hike - Edgewood Park!

Hi everyone!  I'm looking forward to hiking with you!

Our first hike will be this Saturday, 1/16/16, in the gorgeous woodlands and serpentine prairies of Edgewood Park.  Directions, weather, and much more can be found at: http://www.friendsofedgewood.org/visit.  Or, check out: http://parks.smcgov.org/edgewood-park-natural-preserve.

For those who wish to carpool, meet at the Park and Ride lot at Arastradero and Page Mill Road at 12:30.  NOT the park and ride by El Camino!  If using a GPS or mapping program, this should work: "Park & Ride, Page Mill Road, Los Altos, CA 94022".  I'll be there to help organize carpooling (but won't carpool along because I'm staying in San Mateo after.)  Like we talked about tonight, carpooling is highly recommended, most preserve parking lots are tiny, and waiting for parking is frustrating!

Please bring sturdy shoes, capable of handling mud.  Plenty of drinking water, a snack for yourself, binoculars and field guides if you want them.  Edgewood Park is free of charge.  There is drinking water and bathrooms by the Interpretive Center, which is where we will meet!

As we talked about tonight, ticks and poison oak can be hazards of the natural California environment.

We will hike in anything short of a torrential downpour.  If the hike is canceled, I'll email you all, and post it here as well.

I look forward to hiking with you!  Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns - m.sachs.martin@gmail.com.
