There were quite a few walkers and joggers out by the Rose Garden; one can't talk to them, of course. Nobody even said hello, and most of them had looks ranging from something like boredom to outright agony. A couple might have been hopped up on endorphins; they looked a bit glazed over. I wonder what I look like.

is a little out of date at the south end. The trail now extends across El Camino Real. That's what all that construction was on El Camino where it crosses the 85 Freeway.
I usually park in the shopping mall at El Camino and Grant/237 with the Burger King and the Walgreens. There are enough little shops there that no one seems to notice which ones you do or don't actually go into. From there it's a short walk down El Camino to the trail entrance, which is adjacent to the freeway ramp.
