Specifics Views: Usual San Antonio View, Mountain View, Moffett etc.

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. Parts of the trail is covered by fallen brown and yellow leaves. It was quite pretty. A creek with very little water flows by the trail. Maria said the bystanders tell a horror story about the Tarantula crawling on my back and poison me.

Castle Rock

Date:10/08/05
Park: Castle Rock State Park, Saratoga, CA
Condition: Quite Cool
Start time: 3:00PM
Length: About 3 hrs
Hikers: Me and Maria
Pictures: Did not take any this time
Specifics Views: Sunny day but quite foggy. Can't tell what we saw far away. We are above the fog
Animals include: Not much, may be approaching fall?
Plants include: Plenty of flowers and plants. I was expecting to see some fall colors but I didn't. Parts of the trail is covered by fallen leaves which are yellow. The rocks seems not easy to scramble over either. There is hope for a better view next time.
