Our daily afternoon “zapping” appointment at UCSF Medical Center has been rescheduled to 11:45 in the morning, which now affords us whole afternoons to explore the Bay Area.
Yesterday, it was so warm and sunny that we swung off the freeway to visit Crystal Springs Lake, which we’ve seen when whizzing past it on the way from and back to San Jose.
There is, we discovered, a six-mile paved hiking trail called the Sawyer Camp Trail that connects up with the San Andreas Trail – yep, that’s San Andreas, as in the gigantic fault that’s gonna break one day and cause half of California to slide into the ocean.
Ah, but I digress.
The walk is a beautiful one, pretty close to the freeway yet low enough in the valley to virtually shut out the sound of traffic roaring by overhead.
One of the curious sights in the lake is a little man-made island with a small pile of rocks utilized, I’m guessing, to measure the depth of the water. There’s a pole sticking up from the middle with what looks like gradated markings.
Whatever its purpose, whoever pushed the rocks together formed what looks like the profile of the famous Waikiki icon – Diamond Head.
Whatcha think?
