Sat. Nov. 19, 2005, 9AM sharp, I (Mike Baird) will be co-leading with Anita
Zehnder, a nice brisk hike up Coon Creek in Montaña de Oro, called "A Streamside
Walk"
This is a hike in which many of you have participated before with our
HikeMorroBay Yahoo! Group. The CA State Park endorsing organization --
http://www.ccnha.org/descrip.html#041 describes this event as follows:
Coon Creek - A Streamside Walk Much of the trail follows the creek where you can
enjoy the coolness and shade of this riparian plant community. Coastal sage
scrub, oak woodlands and pine groves are on the steep slopes to either side.
There are still some wildflowers. Bring water and lunch. Wear strong shoes, and
clothing that covers arms and legs. Meet in parking lot at very far south end of
Montaña de Oro State Park. (This walk is rated Active) ~5 mi., ~4.5-5 hr.
Remember, this walk is billed as a non-interpreted walk, unlike most others in
the ccnha.org offerings. This means that while we may stop and examine
nature-related things along the way, our main emphasis will be to get good
cardiac exercise while enjoying the great outdoors with like-minded companions.
The weather has been simply outstanding and we expect Saturday's hike to be in
optimum conditions.

Please come and renew old friendships, and make new friends.
