PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE:

Recently a valued member of the club asked me if it were

typical of organizations to have a core of people who do

most of the organizing. I told her that my experience in-

forms me that it is always a relatively small core of people

who do almost all of the work to sustain any organiza-

tion. There are people who do not feel comfortable in

leadership positions or even in being part of a particular

group. While there are individuals who may feel com-

fortable but for whatever reasons choose to stay on the

sidelines. No judgment, really. We're not all wired to get

involved. However, at this time of year we need to begin

to assess who will return to the board. I will be complet-

ing this task by the next board meeting. Once that is de-

termined the nominating committee volunteers may

come to ask if you would like to serve in a specific capac-

ity. We can only sustain a strong, viable club when its

members get involved. Please consider being part of this

excellent organization as an involved member. Your ac-

tive participation is important and your dedication is

greatly appreciated.

From the Conservation Committee…

SAVE THE BAY

In 1961 landfill had decreased the size of San Fran-

cisco Bay and pipes deposited untreated sewage

into the water. Dismayed by the bay's deterioration,

three East Bay women, Esther Gulick, Kay Kerr, and

Sylvia McLaughlin, founded Save San Francisco Bay

Association (now "Save the Bay") to block a City of

Berkeley plan to fill in shallow parts of the bay. The

grassroots movement won a legislative moratorium

against filling the bay and spurred the establishment

of the Bay Conservation and Development Commis-

sion in 1965 to make a plan to protect the bay, regu-

late shoreline development and ensure public ac-

cess. Since BCDC's inception, tidal marsh restoration

has actually caused a small net increase in the size of

the bay. BCDC has mandated public shoreline ac-

cess whenever it has permitted development and

public access has grown from four miles in 1969 to

over 200 miles today.

With 25,000 supporters, advocates and volunteers

Save the Bay is the largest regional organization

working to protect, restore and celebrate San Fran-

cisco Bay, restoring habitat, re-establishing wetlands

and preventing pollution and inappropriate shore-

line development. Currently, Save the Bay is ac-

tively supporting plastic

bag bans throughout the

region.

We CCHC hikers enjoy the Bay's beauty while hik-

ing near its shores and we usually donate $100

yearly to Save the Bay.

100th Anniversary Corner:

FOND MEMORIES IN CCHC Ray and I have thoroughly enjoyed being members of CCHC since 2000 when we retired and sought an outlet for our

energies! Thank you, Cleo Meyer for introducing us to your hiking club. We have prepared and led many hikes. One of our favorites was inspired when we saw the trail-

side plaque northeast of Lake Temescal. Subsequently we researched the Sacramento Northern

Railroad on the Internet and found that many segments exist today as “Rails to Trails.” We gath-

ered pictures and historical data to put together a hike from Rockridge BART (which is located on

the old rail line that came up Shafter Avenue). We guided hikers east, up the hills to a point

overlooking the Grove-Shafter Freeway where the freeway chopped right through the old route

of our train! We rejoined the original railroad right-of-way north of Lake Temescal and walked what remains

now as a path east of the Lake. We then had to walk some neighborhoods because the old rail

bed is now under the Highway 13 freeway. In Montclair we hiked up the hill to what was the “station.” Today this is a perfect lunch spot!

We then led hikers up the “Rails to Trails” that starts east of Mountain Blvd, near Safeway. At

Saroni and Shepherd the 1940s train used to enter Westport, a tunnel through the East Bay Hills (now sealed off). Here

we turned our hikers around to return to Montclair for ice cream. What fun reliving history while hiking! Ray and I also enjoyed many years on the CCHC Board of Directors. Thank you to all the CCHC members who to-

gether make our club so terrific!

100th Anniversary Corner:

THE HAROLD FRENCH BENCH DEDICATION was held on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at the Sibley

Volcanic Regional Preserve. James French, Harold French’s grandson, was among 68 attendees. The weather

was perfect for this special event

with almost everyone going on the

hikes that followed. Thank you to

Patricia Derickson and Kathy O’Toole as or-

ganizers, Suzy & Jon Mark for donating the

bookmarks and all those that brought food

and tables and lead hikes, etc. It was a great

day. We have a lot to thank Harold French for

almost 100 years after he started CCHC. Who

would have thought that his legacy would

continue and allow us to enjoy our wonderful

trails, views and fellowship? Congratulations

on 100 years to all of us. You can read Noël

Siver’s talk and view pictures of the bench

dedication at www.contracostahills.org in the

‘More’ and EXTRAS section. Also see CCHC

member, Ned MacKay’s, article in the Contra

Costa Times “Park It” section.

Rockridge BART to Downtown Berkeley BART

Leaders: Lois Switzer & Fran Leighty

Twenty-five brave souls showed up for the Rockridge

BART to Berkeley urban hike, in spite of the word

“strenuous” that was in the hike description. The well-

tended front yards and urban gardens were full of lush

vegetation and unique blossoms & fruits, not to be out-

done by wildflowers we saw in spring hikes. Some are

bearing fruits that we recognized: persimmons, pears, ap-

ples, figs, lemons, and walnuts. I tasted a cherry (hint:

cherry season was long over) arching over a sidewalk, and

immediately regretted my action. It was not a cherry or

anything ever presented in any market. No gastronomic

disaster followed, thankfully. Throughout the first part of

the hike we also admired a number of homes and build-

ings designed by famous architects: Julia Morgan, John

Galen Howard, Bernard Maybeck, William Wurster, for

starters. The corner of The Footway and Hillcrest was one

of the notable areas

with homes designed

by famed architects.

We walked past the

grand Claremont Ho-

tel, without the benefit

of a spa treatment, for

a short restroom break

then winding our way

uphill for the strenu-

ous part of the hike. A

series of steps were

connected by steep

uphill pavements. Just

when our knees/legs/

lungs/hearts were

about to give up, we were

done with it. Our lunch

break was on UC Berkeley campus by the Student Service

Center, then off to get our reward for working so hard—a

treat at Ben and Jerry's on Center Street. Thus, we con-

cluded the hike with a very satisfying waffle cone.

Autumn Equinox Hike of the French Trail

Leaders: Sophia Garcia & Diane Cannon

We all know that the French Trail honors our founder,

Harold French. It is especially appropriate this year to

hike this trail. Twenty-three hikers joined our leaders at

the Moon Gate entrance to Redwood

Park where we followed the West

Ridge Trail north for .12 mile to the

Tres Sendas Trail, descending about

0.7 mile to the French Trail. The red-

woods that surrounded us are only a

century old. Malcolm Margolin in his

book The East Bay Out describes the

logging of the 1850’s and the stump

cutting, but the trees have grown

back, ‘regaining their air of dignity

and permanence’ (p. 65). The French

Trail is a challenging one with its ups

and downs. Overall, we hiked up 991

ft. We followed the French Trail for

about three miles, with a short climb

up Starflower Trail, then passing the

Madrone and Fern Trails to reach the

intersection with the Chown Trail.

The Chown Trail climbs for about a

half mile, ending at the West Ridge.

Here we were hiking through oaks

and eucalyptus until we reached

Redwood Bowl. This is a very pleasant and comfortable

lunch stop with room for all at picnic tables. We returned

to the West Ridge Trail, going past the Chabot Space and

Science Center back a little over a half mile to the Moon

Gate. Our total

mileage for the

day was 5.4. We

had cool breezes

on this lovely,

sunny day.

Many thanks to

our leaders, and

we enjoyed the

nuts and choco-

late treats.

GG Park Panhandle to the GG Bridge

Leaders: Fran Leighty & Diane Cannon

Twenty hikers followed the Bay Area Ridge Trail as it left

the high ridges behind and

wove through northern San

Francisco. Starting at the Pan-

handle, Fran and Diane

guided us to the beautiful St

Ignatius Church where Sun-

day services were in progress.

We continued up Lone Moun-

tain, an historic hill that was once the site of sev-

eral cemeteries, then of Lone Mountain College for

Women, and currently

houses the University of

San Francisco.

We made a stop at the

landmark San Francisco

Columbarium & Funeral

Home and, continuing on

Arguello, we entered the

southern end of the Presidio. Stopping along the trail to

view Andy Goldsworthy's "Spire" we continued to lunch

at Inspiration Point, arguably the City's most scenic lunch

spot. The Ridge Trail contin-

ued through the Presidio's

pine and cypress woods,

past historic buildings, bat-

teries, a national cemetery,

an overlook dedicated to

immigrants and our immi-

grant past, and along a

coastal view trail to its SF end at the Golden Gate Bridge.

From here we could marvel at the scenic and historic vari-

ety we had been treated to in just 6 miles. Thanks, Fran

and Diane.

French Bench Dedication Long Hike

Leader: Mike Branning Forgetting to do a count, a large group set off on the

longer hike, staying on Sibley trails rather than use the

paved road. Generally following the same route as the

short hikers, we managed to scare a poor dog away from

her owner (later reunited in the parking lot). Many de-

scended into an old quarry pit to traverse a labyrinth to

its center in hopes

of obtaining good

luck. Bill Motzer

gave us interesting

insights to the geol-

ogy of the area as

we walked along

the Volcanic Trail to

another quarry pit

and labyrinth. On the Quarry Trail, we were awed to see

where most of the road had slid down the hill a few win-

ters ago and remains unrepaired. We returned on Quarry

and Round Top Loop Trails to the dedication site, for a

total of 4 miles. Thanks to Patricia, Sue, and everyone else

that contributed to the bench dedication.

Mike Branning

French Bench Dedication Short Hike

Leaders: Kathy O’Toole & Rosemary Johnson Kathy led a group of 14 hikers up the paved road and

curving around the hill known as Round Top. In the

group was Harold

French’s grandson, James

French, who is not a

hiker but agreed to try

the 2-mile loop. How-

ever, when the trail

turned to gravel and con-

tinued upward, about half the group decided to return to

the start. I led those who wanted to continue so that

Kathy could escort James and others back.

When we got to the top of the ridge, we took a short de-

tour to look at a panoramic view of the hills. Then we

stopped at the overlook

for the labyrinth. We

followed the loop trail

back agreeing to take the

dirt trail with roots

rather than the smooth

road for the lovely shade

it afforded.

Thursday, October 3, 2019 Ferry Bldg. to Dogpatch, Mission Bay & More, SF

Leaders: Fran Leighty & Pat McDonald

Our group of 29 circled up at the Ferry Building to start

an adventure to the Dogpatch area of SF. Many of us, my-

self included, had never been to this part of the City be-

fore. This area was originally

working-class and blue collar,

but has been “gentrified” since

the 1990’s with newer busi-

nesses, restaurants, condos and

construction all around. The

weather was perfect for a 6-mile

walk, starting along the Embarcadero heading south. Co-

leader Fran pointed out Delancey Street Restaurant where

we will have our 100th

anniversary luncheon

next February.

We continued along the

marina and passed Ora-

cle Park. We hopped

onto the Muni T light rail heading for the Dogpatch area.

Along the way we passed the Chase Center and UCSF

Medical Center and soon arrived at our destination, 23rd

St. The first thing I noticed was a wonderful aroma com-

ing our way from the Thatcher Gourmet Popcorn factory.

Sorry no tour today! We took a peek at Museum Craft

Design and then

checked out the

Minnesota Street

Project, a pet-

friendly art gal-

lery/restaurant

complex.

Continuing along

we passed through

a lovely garden area right along the street. Then we

walked through the Altman Art Gallery, passed by the

Tubbs Cordage rope

and twine factory site

(1856-1962), the head-

quarters for the SF

Hells’ Angels, the

Spark food park (food

trucks), Parklab Gar-

dens, and Stagecoach

Greens. Lunch was at

Mission Creek Park, an inviting area bordering Mission

Bay. Lastly a stop at the Rincon Annex Center to view the

murals in this historic building. Thank you, Fran and Pat,

for a very different look at how the city is continually

changing. The chocolate chip cookies were delicious!

Hayward Greenbelt Trails

Leaders: Wanda Fong & Sharon Wang

On Sunday, October 6th, twelve hikers circled up in Me-

morial Park parking lot

in Hayward to embark

on the backup hike

Wanda and Sharon

stepped in to lead. It

was predicted to be a

warm to hot day and

the schedule indicated

a strenuous uphill

climb, so this resulted in the smaller number of attendees.

The trail was mostly shaded so was actually a nice escape

from the heat.

The Greenbelt Trails are a well-

hidden delight which wrap in

and around the Hayward hills. It

crosses the adja-

cent creek sev-

eral times but

was easy to ma-

neuver because it had little to no water

in it at the crossings. The trail was well

maintained despite the glaring signs of

erosion throughout. There were exposed

tree roots, downed branches and even a

tree that had fallen across the path since

the time that Wanda had pre-hiked it. It

added a little adventure and challenge to

our mobility skills!

The strenuous elevation

gain was in the begin-

ning and at the end.

Here presented a choice

to either climb the stairs

or take the trail. The

group used both. We

were treated with a

“surprise” Halloween

decorated sitting area along the way and a clean, peaceful

picnic area for lunch. All this and

very few people along the way!

Thank you, Wanda and Sharon, for

a wonderful hike!

Diablo Foothills, Walnut Creek

Leaders: Mark Petrofsky & Mary Ulrich

The group of 13 hikers met in Diablo Foothills Regional

Park to begin a 10-plus mile hike. The weather was per-

fect: sunshine, cool temperatures and

a light breeze. After the meet and

greet we began our climb of over 1600

ft. and enjoyed the shade of beautiful

trees with brilliant fall colors. There

were so many shades of red, yellow,

orange to enjoy

along the trail. We

stopped along the

way to explore

some geological

rocks in the area and look at the vari-

ous formations that have been created

over the years. Along our route we

encountered a huge tarantula busy

making its way across the trail and

saw some deer running across the meadow. We contin-

ued to climb and climb wondering if we would ever reach

the summit to enjoy our

lunch. Eventually we ar-

rived at our assigned lunch

spot and enjoyed sitting

under the trees on rocks

enjoying views of Danville,

Walnut Creek and

Alamo. After a group

photo we began our descent (which included quite a few

uphills). The terrain was not so shaded

but a breeze kept us all cool enjoying

the different vistas as we hiked along

the trails. A big thank you to Mark Pet-

rofsky and Mary Ulrich for leading this

enjoyable, challenging

and beautiful hike!

Presidio to Sutro Baths Redux

Leaders: Liz Howell, Suzy & Jon Mark

A beautiful sunny day greeted the hikers gathering at the

Presidio to retrace the 1920’s hike to the Batteries and

Baker Beach. Fifteen batteries are located at the Presidio, 7

viewed along our journey on the Presidio Promenade, Bat-

tery East and Presidio Coastal Trails. Behold! Whale(s)

spouting at the GG bridge enthralled the group as we

watched for more resurfac-

ing. What a treat! Tidbits of

information dispensed along

our trek included Godfrey

Battery had the biggest gun,

along the Presidio Coast Trail was the placement of the

1848 Disappearing Cannon, Chamberlin Battery is still

intact and operational (one

brave hiker mounted the

platform to “operate” the

crank!) Ongoing construction

which will eventually enable

hiking on trails under the

freeway and other renovations is costing upwards of $100

million.

Along the trails,

we viewed dis-

plays on the

structure of the

GGB, Presidio development and African American Buffalo

Soldiers. There are 450 African American Buffalo Soldiers

buried in the national cemetery at the Presidio.

As we approached Marshall

Beach, the group split into the

upper and lower routes. Hikers

taking the upper route enjoyed

expansive views while those em-

bracing the more strenuous lower

route negotiated 244 steps down and 190 steps back up to

the ridge line all the while enjoying the views as they ven-

tured closer to the

beach.

Lunch was partaken

at Baker Beach before

heading out along

the route of the for-

mer railway to Sutro

Baths. Exiting the

Presidio, we

glimpsed Lobos Creek, traveled along El Camino Del Mar

viewing the mansions, well-manicured yards and Robin

Williams’ former house. Thanks to Liz, Suzy and Jon for a

delightful hike and delicious treats!

Pleasant Hill Hike & Catered Almuerzo a La Casa Derickson

Hike Leaders: Patricia & Nidhi Derickson, Karen Arntzen, Diane Barde

Once again, CCHC hikers gathered at the Pleasant Hill BART

Station for our annual trek to Patricia’s Luncheon with a stop

along the way at Karen’s upscale lemonade stand.

We had approximately 47 hikers at circle up on a delightful

sunny morning, with a temperature of 63°. Karen led us west

to the Contra Costa

Canal Trail with Syl-

via Kwan sweeping. We turned north and by

11:15 am we had reached Poet’s Corner and

Karen’s pristine backyard for a very refreshing

lemonade break. We

returned to the Ca-

nal, continued north

and arrived at

Patricia’s by 12:30 pm and lined up out her front door and

onto the porch while we waited our turn for an enormous al-

muerzo of arroz, frijoles, tortillas, pollo, cerdo, queso and all

the trimmings including several desserts. ¡Que delicioso! We ate and mingled in the

house, patio and the backyard. Muchas gracias to Patricia and her crew for their warm

hospitality. Hike

length was 4.3 miles.
