I started talking this walk about 2 years ago. I don't really remember when it started I just do it.
Its about a 5 mile round trip that takes me from suburbia to open fields of hay and tractors.
On this walk I have seen coyotes, turkeys, rabbits, snakes, brand new cabinets and make a few friends along the way.
I noticed that rabbits never look when they cross the road and routinely find them dead on the road. Some skunks stand right in the middle of the road or in the middle of a field.
Once when they dug a ditch across the field about ten snakes perished on the road. For some reason I felt it my duty to pick them up and move them off of the road.
On these walks when the haze is not bad, or on a clear day (rare) you can see the snow on the Sierra's. Normally the haze is less to the west and Mount Diablo and the coastal range are usually in sight.
