Nice Hike. No Photos

I took a nice little hike today; up Deep Gulch and down Mine Hill at New Almaden. I took exactly one photo and I haven’t posted it yet. How about that!

Santa Teresa Park Trail Damage

Today’s hike at Santa Teresa County Park was slightly marred by some bad trail damage caused by mountain bikes. In the absence of any signs limiting their use of the trail it would seem that the riders were not violating any laws (except for the spot in the photo below on the right), but they sure tore up the trail.

The photo on the left shows a very muddy trail that was impassable to foot traffic but which appears to have gotten significant use from cyclists. The photo on the right shows an obviously closed area through which a number of cyclists had descended nonetheless.
