President's Message
November 2024 Dear CCHC:
It is most likely that the weather will begin to get cooler for our November hikes, so be prepared to dress appropriately and to be aware that we will be getting up in lighter skies but enduring earlier darker nights as we adjust to Standard Pacific Time. I want to thank the hike leaders who will be taking on the task this autumn month. We recently met at Patricia's home for a wonderful gathering that she so kindly does with sandwiches, salads, cookies, cakes, brownies, drinks, chips, and other goodies. Thanks to Nidhi and Diane for helping Patricia and to those who brought the additional calories to eat. And to Karen Arntzen for having us to her home on our way to Patricia's luncheon. Thanksgiving will be celebrated this month, so I want to wish all of you a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving. In spite of the chaos and hardships in the world, there is a lot to be thankful for as you gather with family and friends. Stay well and see you on the trails... Respectfully Submitted by Stew Perlman ************************************ CCHC Board of Directors
The CCHC Board currently meets via Zoom on the second Friday of each month. CCHC members should contact Stew Perlman with any concerns so that they can be discussed at the meeting. The 2025 Board meeting dates are listed on the Board of Directors page.

Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space Park is now open! Solano County may be a powerhouse for processing tomatoes, but it is also home to this beautiful park after many years in the making for necessary improvements to accommodate people of all ages with all kinds of abilities. It’s for hikers, bikers and equestrians who can roam deep into the property without disturbing each other. Its 1,500 acres with seasonal creeks and streams, many oaks at least 100 years old and views of the coastal range and rocky outcrops. If lucky, golden eagles can be seen flying. And if pronouncing the name of the park seems daunting, here’s a hint on how to do it: "Putt-win-oh War-klaw Kaw-doy De-he”. Best of all, your contributions to the CCHC Conservation Committee helped support the Solano Land Trust that worked to open the park.
