Our first outing of the spring "semester" was in the open space lands west of Indian Valley College at the end of Ignacio Boulevard in the southern reaches of Novato. After welcoming the new folks joining the Tuesday group, we set off past the school's athletic fields and began a slow climb into the hills. We passed the Pacheco Pond, stopped for lunch in a high meadow with a great view across San Pablo Bay towards Vallejo, and eventually wound our way down to the Indian Valley Fire Road and back to our cars. It was a great day for hiking with a few clouds, but generally sunny skies on the fifth day since the official start of Spring on March 20th. (For another hike description and more photos of the IVC Open Space, check out this page on the "Bay Area Hiker" Web site).Here's the satellite map of the general area where we hiked.

Better yet, download a free copy of the "Google Earth" software which will let you "tilt" and rotate the 3D map and view it from all angles.
