Bumped into Don’s Musings, the creation of a guy who lives and hikes in the South Bay, where a lot of my hikes happen. Don’s already got a few nice writeups on local parks, including a small one I’d never heard of, called Chictactac Adams Heritage County Park.
The park describes interactions between the Spaniards who settled Northern California in the 1700s and the Ohlone Indians, who’d been there since, well, thousands of years before that. One of Don’s descriptions included a sentence only an editor could love:

Large scale cattle and sheep ranching had damaged their incestral lands, grasslands were overgrazed, forested harvested and many waterways spoiled due to mining and ranching activities.

Musta been why the Spaniards were hellbent on civilizing the Ohlones — nothing but sin happening on them incestral lands. (We must find humor in such things, because on the copy desk, each of us lives one keystroke away from the ordinary, pedestrian “public” becoming the deeply embarrassing “pubic.”)

Anyway, Don’s off to a fine start with his blog; stop in and check it out.
