These seems like a lightly-used and safe area just a ½-mile walk from my
house, where I saw 2-opening burrow and a burrowing owl. |

Just keep and ear & eye alert for the sound of BMX motorbikes that use these same trails. And for other hikers and dog walkers. | ||||
I even found a plastic chair to sit on and make Christmas phone calls. What a spectacular setting! | ||||
On December 25, 2010, I took off at 11:00 am and returned about 1:00 pm; I hiked left. Next time I'll explore to the right. | ||||
