I've been doing a lot of walking these days. I walked the Jones Road to Lexington hike three times in about 9 days. It's glorious in March. I keep having these flashes about how it used to be & how it is now. It's funny...I'd get part way to Lexington as a child & then come back...now, 1.2 miles is nothing.
I led my Girl Scout troop there, and we saw two banana slugs (yes, I picked one up & tried to get them to kiss it, but to no avail), one lizard & one furry thing that looked REALLY big (they came running screaming about it).
Sure, there's probably mountain lions & bobcats there. But I can't see that they'd care for us in the middle of the day. There's enough water to keep the deer up near the top pof the hills.
And I've been walking around town when my daughter takes her class at the rec center. I walk down to Los Gatos Meats and buy beef jerkey & chow down as I walk back. That is truly some of the FINEST beef jerkey ever.
In fact, I'm going to get some now :-D
Raised in Los Gatos, I moved back here. Learn some history as well as current events and get steeped in the culture of a bedroom community that is uniquely Silicon Valley. See the day to day doings from my eyes as I walk around and try out new and old restaurants and shops. Help me remember names of stores of times gone by. We moved here in 1976, and I've watched the town grow from an artists' community to the rich bedroom community of today.
