Useful Map
A comprehensive map of the trails (including roads and tracks closed to cars) of the central part of the East Bay Hills. Good detail, including property jurisdictions, topographic (20 foot contour intervals), ground cover, points of interest and conveniences like bus stops. It also includes a good index (of trails), mileage marked on trails, rules and regulations for the various parks, general and contact information for each.

Map is printed one side only, on regular paper.

A great resource for finding and enjoying hikes of any length in the area.

There is also a Northern Section map of the area.

Memories of pioneer life in northern California.
Califronia as it once was. A vast wilderness where the great grizzly bear still roamed free! The author's memories of northern California pioneer life in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Recounted years later for his daughter, Told with wry humor and wisdom. The stories ring true.

The first tale, "Bear on Fire," sets the tone. The author is guiding some artists near Mount Shasta when a wildfire threatens the entire party. Seeking shelter he keenly observes the wildlife as it too flees.

The second story & third stories hark back to the author's boyhood. The rest can be read in any order. Some of the stories range farther afield to Alaska, Louisiana and Mexico.

The tales often speak of the potential diasterous consequences of bad decisions and ignorance. Exciting, yet not gory. Good initiation theme stories for young and old alike.
