Great Saturday Walks
This
Saturday, 4/19, Bon Tempe/Lake Lagunitas loop. The best lakes for a hiking
excursion are Bon Tempe and Lagunitas. By linking together a couple of trails,
you can walk all the way around both lakes’ perimeters in a couple of hours.
Plenty of shade, moderate elevation changes, and dog friendly. The only down
side is an $8 entry fee so carpool please!
Next
Saturday, 4/26, Deer Park Trailhead. Deer Park trailhead is a premier Mount
Tamalpais staging area for easy loops through varied terrain. Beginning in a
canyon just south of Fairfax, Deer Park offers access to nearly a dozen short
grassy and forested trails, providing hikers with lots of choices. The featured
hike below is a 3 mile loop but we will add another three miles and stay on
Yolanda Trail to pay a visit to Phoenix Lake for lunch. Pack water and
something to eat. And bring the dog!
Getting
there: From US 101 in Marin County, exit San
Anselmo/Sir Francis Drake. Drive about 5 miles west on Sir Francis Drake to the
town of Fairfax. Turn left on Pastori, make the first right onto Broadway, and
then turn left onto Bolinas. Drive about 0.5 mile, then turn left onto Porteous
Avenue. The road almost immediately splits; bear right to remain on Porteous.
Drive about 0.5 mile to the trailhead at the end of the road.
If
you are interested in carpooling with someone send me a text and I will
coordinate for you. Please do not email
as I am not in the office frequently enough to ensure getting back to you in a
timely fashion. Tom 415-717-8290
As
you know, our goal for these hikes is to provide a friendly occasion to make
new friends and to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. We are the men and women who make up the
Marin AIDS Project community of support for people living with HIV/AIDS. If you
haven’t joined us yet maybe this is the one.
Here is an opportunity to get out and connect with like minded people
who are seeking a breath of fresh air.
Hope
many of you will join us this week and/or next.
If you don’t carpool meet at the trailhead at 10am Saturday!!
MIX IT UP!! - Next time - Monday, April 28th Once a month, MAP's fabulous supporters and clients come together to “mix it up” at
the Sheraton Four Points in San Rafael. Contact Tom for more information 717-8290.
