Arastradero Preserve

Open grasslands, some thorn plants, decent bay views. A small lake. A fair amount of pretty fun singletrack. A challenging "bowl" with steep sides (N 37° 22' 34", W 122° 11' 33"). The road can get quite bumpy/rutty if there has been a lot of rain and irresponsible mud riders.

I've seen a surprising amount of wildlife here, considering how close it is to civilization: deer, owl, tarantula, hawks, some weird little black mole/vole creatures, and 1 guy fishing in the lake, with one of those weird floating wader-things on (like waders but with an inner- tube built in, around chest-height).
