September 19 - Section Member Hike
last weekend four of us (Karen, Michele, Chio, and me) went on a hike. We decided to do a shorter (yet not easier!) hike from Sycamore Springs hotel over the hill to Pirate’s Cove in Avila Beach. The day was beautiful, but hot. And the path down was pretty steep. .
When we got to the parking lot near the cove, it turned out to be a community service opportunity - a group was there cleaning up the hiking path and beach. We all grabbed bags and did our bit. Figured it will count as a SWE community service for our section :).
We talked about doing more casual hikes (maybe once a month on Saturday mornings) as a mini- SWE activity. Please let Karla know if you're interested in joining them next month.
More pictures posted on the section pictures area.
