Don Edwards Preserve, CA by Felix Wong | 28 Feb 2005Hiking at the Sir Edwards Regional Preserve in Newark with Carolyn. The weather was beautiful and Carolyn was visiting on this Monday, the first Monday as a free man from the corporate world! But ironically, like the museums we had tried to visit that morning, everything seemed to be closed...So we ended up doing a nice leisurely hike along the trailes of the Sir Edwards Regional Preserve in Newark.How convenient--a "do-it-yourself" walking tour of the Tidelands Trail.There is interesting flora out here, but unfortunately I do not know the names of any of it.Carolyn reading about something about the fauna in the preserve. Maybe I should have too so that I could at least name some of them!A trail at Sir Edwards Regional Preserve.Carolyn at the top of the short-but-steep trail, overlooking the salinas (salt ponds) by the Dumbarton Bridge.The visitor center--like seemingly everything else that day--was closed on Mondays, too.
