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.
