The next two Saturdays, Oct 11 and 18, we'll be painting at one of our favorite locations, the wide-open field and Diablo view across from Northgate High School. You'll find great views all along the wide, paved trail. The gravel edge is a bridle path so let’s not block it with our set-ups (horses don't like umbrellas!) Also, keep an eye out for poison oak and ticks in grassy areas.
Parking Option A: In front of Northgate High School you can park in the wide gravel shoulder across the street or find a spot along the curb.
Parking Option B: For access to the top end of the trail you can park on Trails End Drive. Just beyond the roundabout on Oak Grove Rd. turn left onto North Gate Rd., then right on Trails End Dr. Park near the end of the street where you'll see a pedestrian gate to the trail.
Please note -- there are no public restrooms at this location, so plan ahead. There are shopping centers within a short drive. Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
