HALFMOONBAYT H E H E A R T O F T H E C OA S T S I D E


As a cattle rancher, San Gregorio resident Erik Markegard stakes his profession on his ability to move large mammals.

Last winter the self-proclaimed cowboy received an odd challenge. Could he and his pickup truck move the remains of the biggest animal on Earth?

That animal, a dead blue whale, washed up on the shores of Bean Hollow State Beach in October after a watercraft is believed to have struck it. After science teacher Dan Sudran completed a lengthy permit process, the largest bones of the leviathan were approved to be mounted at Pescadero Elementary School.

But Sudran had a problem — how do you carefully haul a 1,500-pound mandible, a jawbone as heavy as Half Moon Bay’s heftiest pumpkin? He was considering hiring a helicopter, but then he decided to call up Markegard.

“I haul a lot of heavy stuff, but I’ve never hauled anything like a whale

bone,” he said. “I went down there to look at it, I told him let’s try to cowboy up. … Let’s try it the old-fashioned way.”

That meant tying ropes around the huge bone and getting a team of helpers to move it, inch by inch, from the freezing ocean water. It took hours to coordinate, but the 14-person team was able to lug the bone over to Markegard’s truck and eventually lift it into the bed.

“It was pure caveman physics,”

Sudran said. “It was like two and two and two came together. It was perfect.”

Sudran teaches in San Francisco through the Mission Science Workshop, a hands-on nonprofit laboratory for students that he founded in 1991.

Living in Pescadero, Sudran explained that he has amassed a small collection of bones from his regular hikes in the area, which he uses to teach children about biology. When the dead whale washed ashore near Pescadero — the first since 1979 — Sudran realized bones of the creature would be perfect for local education.

“I thought it would be amazing what the kids could learn from a skeleton like that,” Sudran said. “It dawned on me that if I could figure it out logically and get permits, I could get these bones.”

It felt appropriate, Sudran said, to have the whale bones that washed up at Pescadero stay in the local community.

The remains of sea mammals are tightly restricted under federal and state law, making it a crime to take any part of

LEvIATHAN BONES LAND AT LOCAL SCHOOLPescadero school to receive whale jawbone |By Mark Noack

a whale that washes ashore. In Northern California, the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco typically has first dibs on any sea carcass, and more than a half dozen other agencies usually claim samples, leaving few opportunities for anyone else.

But Sudran saw his chance when he noticed that most of the usual science institutions weren’t pouncing on this whale. Most of the other organizations explained they already had plenty of whale bones.

So Sudran decided to make a go for it, and he applied for permits through a hodgepodge of agencies. He also brought up the idea to Pescadero Elementary School Principal Pat Talbot.

“I told her it’s probably crazy, but this huge whale bone could be in front of your school,” he recalled.

Talbot agreed the bones would be a powerful teaching tool because most of the student body was already interested in the huge whale that washed up on their shores. Everyone could smell the rotting

carcass, and many students had visited the beach to see the whale firsthand.

“There was a real local connection,” Talbot said. “This wasn’t just a whale bone in a museum. This was one they saw — and certainly smelled — from the beginning.”

In the end, the small South Coast school received approval to take the huge mandible — part of which was broken. Sudran took other various bones including ribs and vertebrae and has been donating them to other researchers and educators.

The hauling team brought the bones to Sudran’s backyard to let the largest bones dry out before bringing them out to the school, which reduces the weight of the bones considerably.

As its largest bone, the mandible of a blue whale is crucial for drawing in huge amounts of seawater and krill to feed the gentle beast. The blue doesn’t have teeth on its jaws, but rather baleen, which are used like a sieve to expel water but retain krill.

Talbot has suggested that the school could develop some teaching curriculum around it. Off the cuff, she proposed students could learn math by calculating the krill a whale would need to eat, or learn writing skills by composing stories about the whale’s journey across the sea.

Sudran proposed the jawbone could also make an excellent addition to the school playground — it’s large, sturdy, smooth and easily climbable.

Markegard, the cowboy hauler, said he was happy to use his pickup truck to help the kids at Pescadero Elementary. For weeks after making the delivery, Markegard’s clothes and truck still reeked of dead whale.

“I’m lucky I’m married, otherwise I’d never get a date.” CG

Meet Luke and Beth Kilpatrick.

He’s a web-programming maestro who has seen his

salary rise as he has climbed the tech industry career ladder. She’s an up-and-coming electrical engineer specializing in solar technology.

With no kids, good jobs and plenty of disposable income, these two promising 20-somethings could live pretty much anywhere they desired in

the Bay Area. They could move into a house, but

the Kilpatricks say they’re too happy where they are now … in a narrow trailer on the south side of Half Moon Bay.

Tired of lugging around a lifetime of possessions as they chased their careers, Luke and Beth made the call four years ago to take their life permanently on the road. Wedged in a home about 8 feet wide, the Kilpatricks say they’re running a household that’s cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and one that

lets them easily go anywhere, anytime. “We’ve always been minimalist, and

we were never really into the whole American dream of having as much stuff as possible,” Luke explained.

Plus the couple was simply sick and tired of constantly packing up and moving.

Parked at Pelican Point off Miramontes Point Road, the Kilpatrick motor home still has all the trappings of a well-inhabited piece of local real estate, surrounded outside by a line of

LIFE ON THE ROAD PAUSES IN HMB Young couple lives, works out of mobile home | By Mark Noack

A truly close-knit couple, Beth and Luke Kilpatrick have been living for more than four years in a small trailer as they journey to various destinations across the U.S.

Beth and Luke have become proficient surfers during their stay in the area.

potted plants, a drying wetsuit and a collection of surfboards.

Costing about $800 a month, the Rv lifestyle is a bargain by Half Moon Bay prices for a beachfront plot. Getting started with their first trailer cost them about $14,000.

Although they’re living at a campground, they’re hardly roughing it. When they need to work online, the Kilpatricks log their computers on to the campground wireless network. To relax, they take a short trip to surf at the beach. And when they’re hungry, they waltz over to the Half Moon Bay Ritz-Carlton for a snack.

And they’re not alone. Approximately 10 percent of Rv and trailer owners choose to permanently reside in their mobile homes — and usually not for financial reasons — according to the California Association of Rv Parks and Campgrounds.

“It’s very much part of a larger trend,” said Debbie Sipe, California ARvC executive director. “People love the lifestyle, being able to roam the country and do whatever they want to do.”

But living on wheels hasn’t always been easy for the Kilpatricks. The couple first tried trailer living in 2006 when they were crisscrossing the Midwest for work and college.

The biggest sacrifice obviously was space, so they had to divvy up their possessions, give away most of them, throw some in storage and keep only the necessities. Beth had to abandon her beloved book collection. A pleasant solution to the problem: She recently picked up a Kindle book tablet. (“Best valentine’s Day gift ever,” she says.)

The first winter spent in the trailer was particularly traumatizing. Living in Wisconsin during one of the coldest seasons on record, the pair was just learning the ropes of their new trailer when they had to deal with daily temperatures dropping to 20 degrees

below zero. That meant their water intake pipe and their septic tanks all froze solid, and they were burning through propane to stay warm.

“It was bounce weather,” said Luke. “That means when you spit, the drop is frozen before it hits the ground.”

The nozzle of the water intake pipe ruptured at one point, sending a geyser of water into the air, and it would all immediately freeze. They managed to repair the leak by forcing the pipe head back into place, but the job meant getting drenched in the icy cold.

Despite that rough start, the Kilpatricks stuck by their trailer home, although a warmer climate became more attractive. Coincidentally, that June, Luke was heading out west to California for a software conference, and Beth decided to tag along after an internship offer fell through. They decided to make a vacation out of it, driving west to the coast.

“We stayed at some really beautiful campgrounds … and a Walmart parking lot.” Beth said. “you know all those song lines, ‘amber waves of grain, purple mountain majesties’? … It really was like that when you’re traveling.”

That vacation soon turned into a

permanent stay in California. The couple hopscotched across various sites around the Bay Area before settling in Half Moon Bay in 2008.

For two people accustomed to a transient lifestyle, the Kilpatricks say they’re happily settled in on the Coastside. They’ve gained a circle of friends, surf the local beaches regularly and say they have no plan to pack up and leave anytime soon.

“We love it here,” Luke said. “We’re farm kids, and this feels like home to us.”

A professional technophile, Luke is proud that his trailer would allow them to pack up and leave in case of anything, including a tsunami, earthquake or mudslide.

Over time, they’ve made slight alterations to their mobile home, installing a larger kitchen table, reconfiguring the computer setup, trying to make more workspace. They eventually purchased a larger trailer that gave them about a third more space — and a bathroom much larger than their previous closet-sized one.

The Kilpatricks say they have no regrets, save one: a bathtub for an occasional hot soak would be heavenly. CG

Living in their trusty trailer, the Kilpatricks have weathered subzero temperatures and sweaty summers. Looking for more space, the couple purchased a new trailer, pictured above, with a bit more room to stretch out.

No trip to the coastside is complete without a glimpse of the Pacific ocean from one of the many beaches in the area. They range from the wild and craggy to deserted stretches of sand, perfect for a romantic stroll. There is some-thing for the whole family. Don’t miss the well-known tidepools at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve or the lighthouses that mark the region’s northern and southern boundaries. You’ll see surfers, whales and other marine life, depend-ing on the time of the year. And you are virtually guaranteed a good time. See the map in the center of the coastside Guide for locations. Beaches are listed from north to south. Photographs courtesy californiacoastline.org, a non-profit organization maintaining a visual database of the entire coast of california.

Gray Whale CoveAn unofficial clothing-optional spot (at the north end), there is parking across the street. Don’t leave valuables in the car — thefts are reported often. Just south of tunnel construction on Devil’s Slide. Restrooms on steep trail to beach.

Fitzgerald Marine ReserveWhen the ocean rolls back the tides, another world is revealed in pools that attract the curious from all over the Bay Area. look but don’t touch!Restrooms and visitor center in small parking lot.

Montara State BeachVery popular when the weather is good, empty if not. Great for hiking and beachcombing, but be careful of the steep drop at the surf. Dangerous swimming. inconsistent surf, but it can be the best wave on the coastside if the conditions are right. Restrooms in south parking area.

Seal CoveSecluded beach underneath the Moss Beach Distillery. can be a great swimming beach, especially at low tide. Reef blocks large waves creating a relatively calm lagoon. can be lots of seaweed. Beautiful trail on bluff

Ross’s CoveThis is the hidden half-moon just north of the famous Mavericks break. it can be tricky getting to the beach, but worth the effort. A long paddle out through rocky outcroppings limits the number of surfers, but the wave here can at times be clean and very large.

Montara Lighthouse BeachA small beach accessed through the Montara hostel/lighthouse station. Historic fog signal dates back to 1875. Secluded and scenic, but not accessible if gate is closed at lighthouse. No facilities.

Surfer’s BeachThis is the most popular surf spot on the San Mateo county coast and usually the most crowded beach when the weather is good. At high tide, beach can disappear completely. erosion has removed much of the golden sand that can be found at other spots.

Dunes BeachPretty, quiet beach with paid parking available. You may see surfers or just those who love a long walk on the beach. Access at Young Avenue, straight through the kiosk. Flush toilets. Trail down to beach. Good spot to park and explore coastal Trail.

Poplar BeachWide and often uncrowded beach south of downtown Half Moon Bay. Metered parking. Steep, dirt trail leads down to wide open beach. Great spot to access coastal Trail. Popular beach for equestrians to ride along.

Miramar BeachAccessed by a short staircase near the Miramar Beach Restaurant. limited parking but can be a nice spot when Surfer’s Beach gets crowded. Beach disappears at high tide and for much of the winter. Uncrowded but inconsistent surf.

Venice BeachThe end of Venice Boulevard opens into a beach operated by the state. Multiple, large parking areas. Flush toilets. Stairs to beach at northern lot, but you may need to ford creek to get to the sand. Remember: gates close at sunset.

Francis State BeachPerhaps the busiest of coastside beaches, there is ample paid parking and access to the coastal Trail. At the end of Kelly Avenue. Popular for surfing and picnics. large camping area for RVs, cars, and cyclists. Ranger station and visitor center.

Roosevelt BeachThe northern end of four miles collectively known as “Half Moon Bay State Beach.” Access at Young Avenue. Turn right at kiosk and travel slowly down access road. large parking lot and pit toilets. Uncrowded most of the year.

AlcatrazSouth of the bridge at Miramar. Access is best from Mirada Road, down the coastal Trail. old stairs are washed out. Shifting sand bars can sometimes create good surf. careful though: at low tide, pillars from old pier can be exposed.

MavericksTrail from harbor leads past calm beaches popular with dog walkers and kayakers. Beach past breakwater is popular with seaglass hunters. High tide can cover beach with surf and seaweed. Mavericks surfers paddle out from this beach.

Cowell Ranchlocated south of Half Moon Bay, cowell begins with a half-mile trail to the point and then 150 stairs to a well-protected sandy beach. Restroom at lot and at beach. Permanent view scope on bluff. Access point for cowell-Purisima coastal Trail.

Pomponio State BeachPlenty of parking and picnic tables make this South coast beach a perfect place for a barbecue with family. This day-use facility features a small lagoon and roaring surf.

Gazos Creek BeachAbundant tidepools dot a beach that is now part of the Año Nuevo State Reserve. The reserve also includes cascade Ranch. Parking is across from the Gazos Grill restaurant.

tunitas Creek BeachWide, wild beach with dramatic cliff views to the north. Few visitors — perhaps because of the difficult, very steep trail down from Highway 1. Best to enjoy from above. Reputation for being ‘sharky.’

Pescadero State BeachRocky coves and tidepools. Popular with fishermen. Across the highway is Pescadero Marsh Natural Preserve, a popular spot for bird watchers and other naturalists. Several parking areas.

Bean Hollow State BeachBeautiful horseshoe shaped cove with plenty of tidepools to the north. look for the self-guided nature trail — and keep your eyes open for sea urchins, crab and other marine life. Small, powerful waves can break right onshore.

San Gregorio State BeachThere is enough driftwood to build a vacation home on this mile-long sandy beach at the mouth of the San Gregorio creek. Restrooms and picnic area. At the intersection of Highway 84 and 1.

BEACHES

Redondo BeachSweeping views from the bluffs but a difficult scramble down eroded cliffs to the beach. Seldom visited but good way to access the Ritz-carlton segment of coastal Trail to the south.

ocean Colony BeachYou don’t need to stay at the Ritz-carlton to utilize this beach. Park just before entering resort property on Miramontes Point Road. Beach is tucked under the golf course. Stairs down to beach.

Folks living out in San Mateo County hillsides a century ago had to have real mettle flowing in their blood.

Take Armand zanone, for instance. The lifelong La Hondan, missing his right arm to the elbow, used to wow passersby as he nimbly rolled cigarettes one-handed while loitering

out on the town’s main strip. The story behind his stump was even more incredible,

according to his daughter, Kathy zanone Wolf. As a young man working on the family ranch, he accidentally got his limb

caught in a wheat thrasher in 1918, and he had to pull himself together to find help. He eventually made the hours-long journey over Old La Honda Road in a horse-drawn carriage to a bayside hospital.

“And afterward he didn’t get depressed or anything,” his daughter said. “It was just a hard life, and you couldn’t let things like that get you down.”

The rugged lives — and often tragic deaths — of frontier La Hondans were the loose topics of last week’s monthly meeting of the town historical society.

Speaking to a group of about 35 mostly silver-haired

LA HONDAN TRACES LIFE – AND DEATH – IN TOWNLocals discuss Frontier Era on Coastside|By Mark Noack

Pam McReynolds studies the history of her family at Williams Ranch in La Honda.


townsfolk, local resident and amateur genealogist Pam McReynolds related her study of the leading causes of death for the town’s predecessors. The top four causes included unspecified “accidents,” diphtheria, alcohol and suicide, according to the San Mateo County death records spanning from 1865 to 1920.

Those numbers might seem startling, except that the La Honda area was so sparsely populated at the time. McReynolds said the county’s census records didn’t even recognize La Honda.

During the 55-year period she studied, large numbers of settlers from across the world were drawn to San Mateo County, enticed by the prospects of unclaimed land for timber and farming. The population of the county grew tenfold over that time, increasing from about 3,200 to more than 36,000.

Many of the death records that

McReynolds studied had been filed by the county’s longtime mortician and coroner — a curious Irishman named James Crow. He himself lasted a long 72 years and outlived three of his children.

The death records put together by Crow and other officials gave curt descriptions of the deceased, their cause of death and sometimes a surprisingly snarky opinion.

McReynolds read one such entry: “He died through his own impotence in trying to cross a moving train.”

Many of the causes of death Crow identified at the time aren’t familiar to folks today, including Bright’s disease, Le Grippe, and “absinthism.” One county resident apparently died during the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, but the official records offer no insight into how this happened. The illnesses were frequently paired with the names of small towns that no longer exist.

McReynolds said one thing that boggled her was where exactly La Honda residents came to be buried — the town has no historic graveyard for that period.

Perhaps, she suggested, residents at the time just buried their dead on their land. Her family has owned a 140-acre ranch in La Honda for generations where some of her family’s remains are buried.

She was initially drawn to investigate the county death records as she was trying to find out more about her family history.

“I saw they were looking for volunteers to do genealogical work,” McReynolds said. “I just didn’t realize it would take me three years to do it.” CG

McReynolds’ family has lived on the land for four generations.

The Coastal trail One of the Coastside’s premier projects, this beautiful trail officially starts at Coronado Street in El Granada on the undeveloped land called Mirada Surf West, just south of the jetty at Pillar Point Harbor. It wends through Miramar and Half Moon Bay, stretching two or three miles south of Kelly Avenue. Informal pieces of the trail run through Moss Beach, Princeton and the harbor as well. very popular with locals, the Coastal Trail is open to those traveling by foot, bicycle or (at least in parts) by horse. Expect traffic, as this trail is usually busy. A new addition running between Cowell Ranch and verde Road is now open to hikers and bikers.

Mcnee Ranch State Park Jaunting through the 700-acre McNee Ranch State Park, it’s plain to see why the park is one of the Coastside’s top hiking destinations. Situated near Montara Mountain, the land provides breathtaking ocean and hillside views for reasonable effort. Take the San Pedro Mountain Road north across the park for a 6.4-mile round trip hike. This route was the one used before it was replaced by Devil’s Slide. For a steep climb, start from Highway 1 and take the North Peak Access Road. The round trip is 7.6 miles. If you’re in the mood for a shorter trek, try the path to Gray Whale Cove, two miles round trip. To get to McNee Ranch State Park, take Highway 1 north from Half Moon Bay. Just north of Montara State Beach you’ll find an entrance and plenty of parking. Open to hikers, equestrians and cyclists.

Like McNee Ranch, this 1,150-acre park in Pacifica offers incredible ocean vistas at the top of the mountain. A network of short trails, including the easy, 400-foot Plaskon Nature Trail and the 0.6-mile Brooks Falls Overlook Trail, make the park an ideal outing for families. If you’d like to hike a little farther, try the 2.1-mile each way Montara Mountain Trail, or the Hazelnut Trail, 3.7 miles one way. Most of the park is wheelchair accessible, and there is one bicycle trail (Weiler Ranch Road), plus several equestrian trails. To get there, take Highway 1 from the south end of Pacifica and turn east on Linda Mar Boulevard to the park entrance.

Burleigh Murray Ranch State Park

This lovely short trail is actually an old farm road. It follows Mills Creek and will lead you by a historic ranch and barn. Two miles round trip to the barn, four miles round trip to the water tanks. Trails for equestrians, hikers and cyclists: From the intersections of highways 1 and 92, go south on Highway 1 for 1.2 miles to Hig-gins Purisima Road. Turn east and go 1.7 miles to the park entrance, where you’ll find parking.

Edgewood County Park and natural Preserve

Edgewood is a San Mateo County park adjacent to Pulgas Ridge and contains 467 acres of land. There are more than seven miles of trail within the park and several loops. However, dogs and pets are not allowed, and there are restrictions on bicycles and horses. It is a “park for all seasons,” with pleasant views year-round and beautiful greenery in the spring months. Start at the entrance and follow Edgewood Trail or Sylvan Loop, then choose a path. There are many possible routes at this park, making it a fun place to come back to again and again. To get there from Interstate 280, take the Edgewood Road exit and go west. Park on the south side of Edgewood Road near the freeway or at Cañada and Edgewood roads.

The coastside’s scenic beauty has a funny way of grounding people while simultaneously elevating them to new heights. Many of us have chosen life on the coast because we are drawn magnetically to the pristine beauty that surrounds us. The rolling surf bleeds into the beach; the sand meets a barrier of bluffs that protect the community from the sea. A short distance from the shore, gentle slopes grow into grassy foothills, eventu-ally rising to mountainous peaks — all within walking, biking or riding distance. Spring and summer are the ideal seasons to explore this region. What follows should not be mistaken for an all-inclusive list of coastside retreats. it focuses on day hikes for those traveling on foot, but includes great ideas for cyclists, equestrians and overnight campers.

Purisima Creek trail This old county road used in the 19th century follows Purisima Creek through steep canyons. It’s quiet, wide, and 8.4 miles round trip. Alternatively, you might make a loop from the North Ridge Trail or Harkins Ridge Trail and return on the Whittemore Gulch Trail for a vigorous 6.8-mile trip. Or, from the Higgins Purisima entrance, try the challenging 9.1-mile loop: take Purisima Creek Trail to the Soda Gulch Trail, connect with Harkins Ridge Trail, the North Ridge Trail and then end with Whittemore Gulch Trail. Some trails are open only for hikers; others are open to equestrians and cyclists. There is even a 1/4-mile-long trail, funded by the Peninsula Open Space Trust, for the physically limited. Access the preserve from either Higgins Purisima Road or Skyline Boulevard 6.5 miles south of Highway 92.

HIkERS onLY

Año nuevo State Reserve People come from around the world to experience this treasured coastal strip, many of them hoping to glimpse the reserve’s most famous attraction elephant seals in action. Año Nuevo is a three-mile round trip to the Año Nuevo Point. It’s an easy hike until you get to the sand, where there are dunes that make the trek more challenging. There is beach access for disabled people. Bicyclists and equestrians prohibited. From Northern Elephant Field, with binoculars, you might spot elephant seals, which molt during the spring and summer. No pets allowed. Permits are free and you get them at the entrance station from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. South on Highway 1, 30 miles from Half Moon Bay.

Butano State Park Located in a quiet, woody canyon, this park is a favorite for campers. It’s popular among hikers as well. The beautiful, challenging 10-mile Canyon Trail connects you to a series of circuits through the park. Equestrians, bicyclists and dogs are prohibited from trails. Call (650) 879-2025 for more information. Butano is off High-way 1, 4.6 miles south of Highway 84. Take Pescadero Road east for 2.6 miles, turn south on Cloverdale Road and then go five miles to the park entrance on the left.

Memorial Park Nestled in the redwood forestland behind Pescadero, Memorial Park offers outdoor enthusiasts a tranquil retreat. Inside the park, visitors will find a series of trails snaking past campsites and picnic areas to breath-taking vistas of the Santa Cruz Mountains and swimming holes in Pescadero Creek. Perfect for campers and hikers, the park prohibits bikes, horses and dogs. Trails from the park connect to adjacent properties Pes-cadero Creek County Park, Portola State Park and Butano State Park. To get to Memorial Park, take Highway 1 to Pescadero Creek Road and drive eight miles east — the park entrance is on the right-hand side of the road.

Crystal Springs Cross Country Running Course

With views of the San Francisco skyline, this 7.5-mile course is considered one of the best cross-country paths in the Bay Area. Maintained by College of San Mateo volunteers, the trail is open exclusively to hikers, joggers and runners. Be sure to bring a water bottle — the trail area can get pretty hot on sunny days. Athletes have been known to pass out from heat exhaustion when running this trail. To get there from the coast or Inter-state 280, take Highway 92 east and exit at Ralston Avenue. Turn right on Hallmark Drive and continue to Hallmark Park. Park on the street and enter the trailhead by the path near the tennis courts. From I-280, take Highway 92 east and follow the directions above.

Pulgas Ridge open Space Preserve

This 366-acre Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District preserve contains two beautiful loop hikes and joins the San Francisco Watershed. There are six miles of trails to travel for hikers only. One three-mile loop is a surfaced road designed for hikers and cyclists. An alternate route, the Polly Geraci Trail, meets up with the main loop. To get there, take the Edgewood Road exit from Interstate 280 and go east one mile. Turn left on Crestview Drive and left on Edmonds Road.

Russian Ridge open Space Preserve

In the spring, Russian Ridge is one of the best places to view wildflowers in the area, according to MROSD. year-round, the preserve has wonderful views of the Santa Cruz Mountains and San Francisco Bay. Enjoy the preserve’s grassy hillsides, which are not as steep as Purisima or Windy Hill. Hikers, bicyclists and equestrians permitted; no dogs allowed. Start at the entrance to the preserve at the intersection of Skyline Boulevard and Page Mill Road. Take the Bay Area Ridge Trail, connect with the Mindego Trail, join the Ancient Oaks Trail and then you’ll connect back again to the Bay Area Ridge Trail and return to the parking lot. The entrance to Rus-sian Ridge can be accessed by taking Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) 19.7 miles south of Highway 92. Or take the Page Mill Road exit from Interstate 280 until its intersection with Skyline Boulevard. All MROSD trails have maps available at the signboards in the parking areas.

Purisima Creek Redwoods open Space Preserve

This preserve contains a 21-mile network of challenging trails through canyons and ridges under a balcony of redwoods. Think about browsing through a guidebook before heading out — the trail possibilities are many. The owner, MROSD, says this is a great place for summer rides because it is heavily forested, providing much-needed shade on hot days.

Windy Hill open Space Preserve

The trails are distinct, and the views incredible, according to MROSD. A great 1.5-mile hike is the Anniversary Trail loop, which offers 360-degree views of the entire Bay Area. Access this hike from Skyline Boulevard, 14.4 miles south of Highway 92, where you’ll find a gate labeled WH01 at the entrance and ample roadside parking. It is open to hikers and leashed dogs only. However, a longer, roughly 8-mile loop is perfect for horses. Park at the designated parking area on Skyline Blvd., 14.8 miles south of Highway 92. From there, take the Lost Trail to Razorback Ridge, connect with Eagle Trail and then the Hamms Gulch Trail, finally returning to the Lost Trail for a short distance back to the parking lot. The Spring Ridge Trail is open to bikers, horses, hikers and dogs.

Big Basin Redwoods State Park

Established in 1902, Big Basin is California’s oldest state park, and consists of over 18,000 acres of old-growth and recovering redwood forest. It features beautiful waterfalls, an 80-mile trail network and camping areas. Trails range from easy to moderate, with options for hikers, backpackers, cyclists and equestrians. The best way to pick a hike is to check out the Web site at www.bigbasin.org. From here, you can find information about trails, weather condi-tions and fees. To get to Big Basin, take Skyline Boulevard (Hwy. 35) to Hwy. 9, and then take Big Basin Way to the Ranger Station.

Sam McDonald County Park

This easily overlooked 850-acre park lies about 3 miles west of La Honda on Pescadero Creek Road on the way to Memorial and Pescadero Creek parks. With its network of trails, the park offers equestrian adventurers a place to stretch their horses’ legs. The park also features the Hikers’ Hut, situated near the top of Towne Ridge, which provides lodging for groups of hikers. To get to the park, Take Highway 1 to Pescadero Creek Road. Then go east 11 miles to the park entrance.

Ion Banner rode his first wave on an old surfboard lodged in a creek up in Purisima Canyon. Little did he know that decades later he’d be competing in the Mavericks surf competition. As one of two local

surfers to ever compete in the invitational, Banner walked away with 10th place in 1999 and 11th place the next year. At 12, Banner was regularly borrowing his neighbor’s boards and goofing off on little waves in the bay at Princeton, back before the break wall was extended. So he just kept trying to paddle out on his own. He actually made the lineup at Linda Mar, and it was there that he caught his first real wave. Later he graduated to Ross’ Cove, which he described as, “a social pressure kind of scene where everybody there was harsh about your abilities and capabilities.” He then moved to Hawaii to really work on his chops. Living there pushed him to become a real surfer. Although Mother Nautre never provided the requisite big waves during the contest window last year, Banner was slated as an alternate for The Jay at Mavericks Big Wave Invitational.

Q: In what ways has Mavericks evolved, devolved or changed since you started surfing there?

It’s changed from being a secret big-wave spot, with anywhere from one to two to five people out, to now 20 to 50 people and all kinds of international surfers and people who are coming here for career reasons. It’s become the pinnacle of the

big-wave scene. It’s really evolved from this small-town secret.

Q: What lessons do you try to instill in the next generation of surfers?

I’ve done a lot of surfing lessons and I’ve coached some of the young guys around here, but mostly they hit a point where they feel like they know it. A lot of them want to just go out and do it on their own. Some kids seem really open to being coached, but, once they get a handle on it, I think it’s a personal thing. Most of them want to have pride in taking it on themselves, not so much of the tutelage like, “Oh, I taught him everything I know,” and I don’t really boast to have done that with anyone — even my son. He’s learned most of the stuff on his own.

Q: Are there certain lessons about mindset that you teach them?

Like I said, when you are a surfer and you’re building up to a wave like that, then you’re kind of growing in the mindset. And, if you don’t do that, then you go out and get your mind blown. It’s rare that someone goes from 5-foot surf to 25-foot surf. There’s usually some kind of build up and some kind of mental build up, too, by going out in bigger waves, gaining calmness. If they are ever out there asking me, I’m ready to help them and give them pointers and teach them stuff it took me years to learn.

Q: Some people believe there should be guaranteed spots on the invitee list for surfers from the community.

What is the responsibility of the contest organizers to engage the local community?

We can’t assume they are going to follow the way that other contests have been run — the Eddie Aikau, for instance. There’s always Hawaiians that are locals that are seeded in the event. They’re not necessarily international surfers going around on the tour or with sponsors, but they are well-known and have been there since day one. So the event shows the respect to involve the natives. I think it’s more about the organizers trying to generate the sponsorship to keep all the money involved. They have to keep those key players and big names in there to do that. I think it’s been discouraging for some of the youth as far as trying to get into the event or follow that dream.

Q: As a longtime surfer who grew up on the Coastside, what do you think gives someone — whether a surfer, a filmmaker, or a company — the right to “ride the wave”?

I think it’s there for anyone who is there for the challenge. I don’t think it’s wise for people to go out there with no experience, but it happens all the time, and they get a pretty big wake-up call. The ocean is for everyone. I’ve grown up being a local. I feel lucky, but not everyone is that lucky. Some people grow up over the hill or farther from the ocean but share the same love for it. As far as having a right to surf out there, I think it’s for girls, boys, young, old, anyone who has a desire. CG
