We postponed the Black Diamond Mines hike until next week because the weather was too "iffy", but Kristin and I decided on an impromptu hike up the Pleasanton Ridge. A grueling (I don't care what anyone else says!!) 5 miles or so STRAIGHT up (o.k....they may call it a 10% grade and there are some rolling hills at the top...but it feels like it was pretty much straight up to me) to about 1400 feet. It was absolutely beautiful! Green rolling hills, various oak species, cute cows grazing, wild turkeys trying to fly and crashing into trees, Turtle Pond, etc. It was an awesome kick butt hike, thanks Kristin!
For next week, 3/19 - we are meeting at 10 am on Sunday, at the Black Diamond Mines Regional Park at the end of the parking lot near the gate.
