Due to the upcoming storm, I am changing the location of our hike on Saturday. It was scheduled to be on San Bruno Mountain, but that's really not a fun park to be in a storm or the rain. So NO San Bruno Mountain! Instead, we'll be going to Castle Rock State Park, also an extremely cool park, but one that I think will be a bit more fun if we get some wet weather. Here is information about the park: https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=538. Please bring boots if you have them, and for sure bring a good jacket, as Castle Rock is often colder than Palo Alto or San Jose. I think it's $10 per car (although I can't find confirmation on the website), so carpooling is encouraged! We'll meet in the main parking lot.
If you haven't been to Castle Rock yet, it's incredible. Truly a must-see, with so many unique rock formations and beautiful habitats. If there's a gap in the weather, the views are out of this world. I think you'll enjoy it!
So meet this Saturday at Castle Rock State Park, in the main parking lot, at 1 PM. Bring jackets!
Then for our next hike, unfortunately, due to my work schedule, it cannot be October 29. It has to be October 22 (I mentioned this might happen previously.) So I'll see you at Coal Mine Ridge, at the intersection of Alpine and Willowbrook streets, in Portola Valley, Saturday the 22, at 1 PM.
Please let me know if you can't make it. I look forward to hiking with you soon!
Here's an article about one of the cool plants we saw last time, vinegarweed: http://calscape.org/Trichostema-lanceolatum-(Vinegarweed)?srchcr=sc56ff6f1ff345a.
