Strolling the Bay Trail

Redwood Shores homes butt up to the edge of the protected area. Oracle is on the right.

After the rains subsided, we walked the Foster City section of the San Francisco Bay Trail. It was only a two-mile stretch, but given our age and conditioning, it was enough to meet the daily exercise goal on our Apple Watch.

We've been jogging, biking, and walking the Bay Trail for decades. Thanks to environmental restrictions, the marshes look nearly the same as they did 30 years ago.

Someday, I imagine, the hundreds of thousands of people whom we make sit in cars, buses, and trains for hours each day will prevail and we Peninsulans will have to live with more housing being built. We will have to give up our beautiful swamp wetlands and bubbly home prices.

Until that day, however, we will stroll the Bay Trail.
