| Lon carried Amos in a backpack. This park is way too hilly for strollers! |
 |
| A deep, steep, and highly overgrown ravine (“Jurassic Valley”) runs down the east side of the park. One of our main reasons for going to the park was to see the goats that are being used to clear this vegetation. A portion of the silver electrified fence is barely visible near the bottom center of the photo. |
 |
| Lon & Amos blend into the dense vegetation on the Sterling St Connector Trail. This is the top end of the goat area. |
 |
| The magic of a telephoto lens! The orange fencing warns hikers of the electric fence. |
 |
| The blue tarp is part of a shelter for the goats. The solar panels charge the battery that provides electricity for the fence. |
 |
| Today the goats were right along the fence. They were mostly munching on pokeweed. They’ve got a lot of vegetation to eat if they are to clear the hillside in six weeks! |
 |
| Here you can see the orange plastic “warning” fence and silver electrified fence -- as well as the goats. |
 |
| When we got to the Sterling St Steps, we came across a deer that promptly ran away from us. |
 |
| These steps are officially Sterling Street. |
