Carr Ranch provided some new-to-INCH trail and an excuse to start a hike out of Moraga.

Almost time to start hiking

The crime is so low in Moraga that the police have nothing else to do except check for EBMUD permits. We had tons of them!

Easy grassy start

Originally planned a slightly different hike on this trail, but was told it was closed. Yep, it is.
