<div class="gmail_extra">So pls come out to support her and enjoy these wonderful trails. Also, the Mountain Lion attack in Cupertino last weekend underscores the importance of having company on the trail. PARC's trail run series offers the ideal opportunity to find runners of similar ability and temperament to run with. Kristan recently scouted the trails and reports "<span>Lovely run. </span><span><b>There is no water</b> for refills or anything there though. None due to the drought. No sinks, spigots, or toilets that flush. I will be at the carpool spot if anyone needs a ride from there."</span><span> So consider car pooling and bring water with you!</span></div>

<div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><span style="font-size: 13px;">These totally beautiful </span><span style="font-size: 13px;">trails</span><span style="font-size: 13px;"> are well-worth the slightly longer than usual </span><span style="font-size: 13px;">drive from Palo Alto. And, as an added bonus, the </span><span style="font-size: 13px;">trails</span><span style="font-size: 13px;"> were improved last year removing much of the trailside poison oak, and providing access to </span><b style="font-size: 13px;">The Big Tree</b><span style="font-size: 13px;">!</span></div>
