It's High Time You Got Outside!

One redeeming feature of Fall is the hustle and shuffle of thousands of species hunkerin' down for the winter. Such is the case these days at Sycamore Grove and our region's trails.
I'm anxiously awaiting my new trail chair to arrive safely home, but in the meantime my "street" chair will allow for endless miles on trails at The Grove, as well as all over Livermore and Pleasanton. It's been a show lately, and I'm not even going to talk about the falling leaves. For migratory birds as well as residents, the activity level has been pushing "urgent". So it's a fine time to bail on the TV, get out to a local trail and see all the activity for yourself.
I enjoy puttering around town in the chair. Our trail system is fantastic, and with more possibilities to add to our roads less traveled, let's hope some of the proposed connectors can be built. Have you ever walked, ridden or rolled the Arroyo Mocho Trail from S. Livermore Ave. to Isabel? It's a fantastic experience, doesn't require a lot of effort and gives us a chance to visit the birds as well as say "hi" to our neighbors. Sycamore Grove, Les Knott Park, Holdener Park, the Arroyo Mocho....I could go on, but you get the picture - 'tis the season to load the day pack and explore our beautiful trails.
I could go on and on, trying to paint word pictures of the birds, animals, trees you might see. But this time I'm leaving it up to you. I'll hope to hear from you, that you took a walk or rode a trail around town some afternoon, taking time to look and listen to the sights and sounds of Fall. The cooling days make walking bearable, whether at twilight on the Arroyo Mocho or early morning at The Grove. You just can't lose. If it's company you seek, check out one of the ranger - led walks at Sycamore Grove. Solitude? Sit on the bridge over Mocho Creek west of S. Livermore a half mile. The quiet drama of the creek gurgling beneath you is special, relaxing and delisciously wild - feeling.
I'll see many of you this weekend as I cruise Livermore and hand you my flyer, delivered to your door by me or one of my wonderful volunteers. And if you have a question as to where I stand on a certain issue in the world of LARPD, let me know - bob@4wheelbob.com is the best way to reach out. I'd love to hear from you - but first, tell me about that walk you took today at The Grove...
