My Second Hike - Lake Chabot
For this second hike I went to Lake Chabot near Castro Valley. I trekked along the West Shore and East Shore trail. At my arrival the sky was somewhat cloudy with much more darker clouds seen in the distance. It started off somewhat warm and sunny but eventually it actually started sprinkling about two thirds in on my hike. Then it reverted back to being somewhat cloudy. I didn’t really see a lot of animals like squirrels or other little critters. There were some birds but they were either floating in the lake or hiding up in the trees. I will say though that the woodlands along the lake were very lively and green. I saw a couple of what looked to be decaying plants, but overall it was very vibrant. The lake on the other hand seems quite murky and stagnant. Some of the coastline inlets actually appeared somewhat marshy.
