We saved $5 by parking out of the suggested trail head. We started from Rim Trail. There are some Fall Colors but not really extensive. A nice long walk. I took plenty of pictures. I was quite slow uphill. I am too out of shape. I need to exercise more.

We took the same trail we usually takes but in the reverse direction. There is a Ohlone days fair but it was $10 per person so we did not go.

Maria said the bystanders tell a horror story about the Tarantula crawling on my back and poison me.

Specific Views: Mountain View, Palo Alto, East Bay.
We parked at Los Altos downtown and carpool there. The trail is more difficult than we expected and we got lost a few times. There are pretty wild flowers, wild wheat and a creek next to the trail. We saw a few lizard, flying insects (may be flies) and butterfly. I like to spend more time taking pictures but it is quite difficult with 17 hikers in our group. I manage to get a few good ones. We had a good tea lunch afterwards at around 2:00 and ate plenty of food. All in all, a very nice hike and a very good day.
Thank God for all the good times we had. Maria to organize it. All members that had made it fun.

Specific Views: Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, Mt Diablo. There are still plenty of wild flowers and we saw a lot of squirrels and plenty of cows. There are a lot of nice looking birds too. The breeze on the "Harvest of Love" looks like a waves, shut up and hear 風吹麥作聲！ Towards the end of the hike, weather changed drastically... Clouds rolled in and the blue skies quickly became cloudy. The skies grew dark. The nice breeze became strong gusts. We quickly decent the hill since we are wearing just T-shirts. Thank God the rain didn't catch us.
