Sunol – Ohlone Regional Wilderness in Sunol

and never know you are anywhere near a Native American village site
possibly thousands of years old.
We’ve been told this little cabin sits right atop a substantial midden.

We’re calling it the great cover-up.
We uncovered it. Then covered it back up. We don’t know why.
This was the way it looked back in 2005.
Ancient tools are lying around all over the place.
There are more bedrock mortars near the creek.
Alameda Creek is a major fresh water tributary into San Francisco Bay.
There are fantastic hiking and camping opportunities in this East Bay Park.
