GETTING OUT: Views to ‘stir your soul’
Our California hills prefer to roll along, rising and falling in gentle gradients. There are few trails etched high into steep slopes where a misstep is costly, or where one dreams of tilting forward and taking flight. Not many, but there are a few.Â
Clearly, the Customer Isn’t Always Right
When I was a young girl and even well into my teens, my Dad was stupid. He never let me do anything I wanted to do, like pierce my nose or date that really cool guy who was already legal drinking age when I was barely in high school. And he had totally old-fashioned beliefs like the customer is always right and tip your waitress before you leave the restaurant.
Red Phone: Boating regulations too strict
"I was calling about Coyote Lake and all the Santa Clara County lakes. I noticed a few years ago they put new campgrounds at Coyote Lake, which I am kind of wondering why because they don't want boats out there. Santa Clara County is the only county that makes you go through an inspection for the clams. The inspection is a joke. You have to start your boat and remove all the water. In my case, I had to start my boat and it messed up my plugs so my day was shot because I had to buy new plugs. They added the campgrounds, but you can't swim there. They can't fill the lake more than 50 percent. I'm wondering why you add campgrounds when the dam needs to be fixed. Back when I was a kid there was a swimming beach area in the '80s and you could enjoy yourself. Now they will harass you on the lake after they have inspected you for the clams. Why is it the only county that does inspections? I have been to numerous lakes and no one charges. They charge $7 for the inspection, $7 for a reservation and then you have to pay for parking. I no longer go to Santa Clara County lakes. You can go to Lake Nacimiento and pay $7 period to get on the water. I feel they need to close down the lakes like they wanted and then they don't have to pay for the rangers."
