President's Message
February 2025 Dear CCHC:
President's Message: As 2025 enters its second month, I hope that we begin to see rain. At the time of this writing there's been nothing since early January. I hope that many of you have been on a variety of Thursday and Sunday hikes. For those of us who were fortunate to hike in San Francisco this past month, we had the opportunity to enjoy baked goods at several wonderful bakeries and, on another hike, we were able to visit three new parks. While the bakery hike replenished our taste buds, the "Parks Hike" replenished our appreciation for San Francisco's neigh borhoods and a strong rebuke to all the negative press about a vibrant city. Getting out on Thursday and Sunday with your fellow hikers seemed needed more than ever considering what has been going on in Southern California and D.C. As some of you are aware, there will be a hike February 2 in Tilden Park dedicated to Pat McDonald. Thank you to Sophia Garcia and Pam Littlejohn for leading this hike. Some of you may know already that the Spring Luncheon will take place on April 2 at Boudin's at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf. So please mark your calendars. Thank you to those who led hikes in January and who will be leading hikes in February. In addition, mark your calendars for March 9 when CCHC will have its Annual Meeting. Stay well and see you on the trails. Respectfully submitted, Stew Perlman ************************************ CCHC Board of Directors

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.
