Please use the written directions for this hike. The link has taken people on a way that doesn't get you to the trailhead anymore.

Come join our book club. Or just come for the hike.
We are a very simple book club as we just walk, talk! During the hike we will break into small groups to give us all a chance to hear and give input. We all read the book before the hike and then hike as we discuss it. Any one that didn't read the book can listen in or walk with the others that didn't read the book.

Foothill Regional Park in east Windsor is a 211-acre wilderness park in the foothills of the Mayacamas Mountains. The park features thick oak woodlands, rolling hillsides, ridge-top views of northern Sonoma County, three ponds for bass and bluegill fishing, grassy meadows, and spring wildflowers. Nearly 7 miles of multi-use trails cover varied terrain, offering easy to challenging options for hikers. We will be doing a moderate 3.4 mile loop.

Book: Where the Lost Wander by Amy Harmon
In this epic and haunting love story set on the Oregon Trail, a family and their unlikely protector find their way through peril, uncertainty, and loss.
The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at twenty. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both.
But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death. Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John’s heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come between them as they seek to build a life together.
When a horrific tragedy strikes, decimating Naomi’s family and separating her from John, the promises they made are all they have left. Ripped apart, they can’t turn back, they can’t go on, and they can’t let go. Both will have to make terrible sacrifices to find each other, save each other, and eventually…make peace with who they are.

At Exit 498 from Hwy 101, head right on the ramp for Old Redwood Hwy toward Central Windsor
Turn right onto Old Redwood Hwy and after 1/2 mile turn left onto Hembree lane. Drive for 1.3 miles and see the park entrance.

As always: Give yourself time to find the trailhead so that you arrive prior to the scheduled time. That is the time we head out on the trail. It would be disappointing to miss having you on the hike due to late arrival. Please always check your email the night before just in case there are any necessary adjustments.
