   In this hike, 12 people enjoyed a beautiful day climbing rocks and marveling at the beauty of thick white fog hovering over the    Santa Cruz valleys. They first tackled Summit Rock, which overlooks Silicon Valley, and then hiked over to Castle Rock and the    trails within Castle Rock Park. A moderate hike, this is one of the favorites as seen in everybody's smiles. After the 8 mile hike,    lunch was downed in a Japanese restaurant in downtown Saratoga. I heard great reviews about the food, and the price! Join us    again next time for this wonderful hike.


Where do we go now?

After the hike, some folks pigged out big time!


Go ahead and blame each other, but we know you all had 3 bowls each!....


...Including Khanh!
