Quote from LIhikers: “Kathy and I both enjoy the cool weather. We keep the thermostat at 60 and we're comfortable with that.

Coastal Delta Trail could be fun.

Quote from rhjanes: “I went Orienteering yesterday at a Dallas City park. It was HOT by mid-afternoon. SO I didn't answer yesterday's question until 9 PM when I could hardly keep my chin off my chest. And missed it. There IS a "Bear Mt.
