super helpful comparison, thanks!

There's natural bat roosting locations in La Honda creek if you know where to look.

My rights to go hunt for food is a right that cat is not a pet if it decides to challenge you there is a good chance your going to die for me it’s a threat if it sees me and takes a step to intervene towards me at that point I don’t care what you think it’s going to die and left there. They are doing a big harm to deer soon you will see the mistake your making by protecting them the end game is going to be the same they will die.

Hard not to come face to face with them when we hunt the same thing seen many especially as hard as it has become to find a forked buck this days you must spend days in the forest go deeper in only to find that a male thinks it can kill a deer and leave for you like they do in other places that have wolves a lion knows if it looks in your eyes what its chance of victory is I have great respect when all I see is there tail going away from me and none for the one that steps towards me after I have made myself known.

I was a “Ranger Aide” for MROSD in 1976 - 1977, and we built the among the first trails and fencing for the district, with Eric Mart and Jim Boland, Chief Ranger and Supervisor respectivly. Quite a lot of stories about then, especially during the rainy seasons. I’m in Pennsylvania now.

Such a beautiful place! So happy to see so much land left open and preserved. Let’s keep on doing it!

I found it interesting that the other video didn't allow comments that I was looking at, but in any case it was talking about the elusive kangaroo rat. We saw one on our porch in Carmel by the Sea the other day :-)

This is great. Thanks

it’s so cute

Crazy - go through all that worthy and great effort to reshape the top of the mountain but then leave the vulgar box out of a very pathetic nostalgia

Maintaining that cold war box on the mountain is pathetic and disrespectful to all Native Americans. It's awful looking too.

Please don't call the Santa Clara Valley "silicon"

Impressive. Great job.

Thank you! Poison oak does not have thorns on their stems or vines right?

Mount Umunhum is NOT one of the four highest peaks in the Bay Area. Mount Diablo and Mount Hamilton are higher. But so is Rose Peak, Discovery Peak, and neighboring Loma Prieta. These alone make five peaks in the Bay Area that are higher than Mount Umunhum. But there are more peaks than these that are higher than Mount Umunhum.

OMG, the acting was hard to watch!😂😂

My family lived on the base in 1971/1972. My dad was the base medic. It was our favorite duty station. It was paradise.

Can't find the app in Apple's App store. Is it only for Android?

Bring back Ranger Steve! This video was awesome!

Helmets? wow When my dad was stationed there twice.We as 8 yrs olds would ride the fire trail started by fire dept and helicopter pad we would ride are bikes non professional or Mountain bikes down to the middle base of the mountain still on USAF land by a mp outpost ....No helmet n zoom zoom zoom 😅

Researching the possibility that burrowing owls use badger burrows in the Channeled Scablands of Eastern Washington. I frequently see badger sized burrows scattered around areas where I can hear burrowing owls calling at night (which was a cool surprise). I've only ever seen one badger sauntering through a wheatfield in Ritzville... Their burrows are big and pretty distinctive as no other animal makes them here.

So you can’t be Native American or ex military and be a cyclist? 😂

nice

I really, really want to work for Midpen. I love the outdoors.

Grew up in Scotts Valley in the 70s, I was lucky enough to get to visit the radar station when it was running as part of a summer school class on aviation and aerospace in 1973, almost fifty years ago. We had great schools before prop 13! It was neat to see my hometown from the summit, after that two hour bus ride, with the Monterey Bay and the Santa Lucia range stretching far to the south, and it was amazing and scary to see what the air force was doing for us all up there as the cold war dragged on. It was a coming of age of sorts. I hope to get back up there when I'm in the area again. Great work to restore the mountaintop, btw, and thank you so much for explaining the meaning and origin of the name and the tribe that remain to share them.

The “Russians” what a joke

Thomas Jefferson was your author. You need to see what he did at his house in VIRGINA.

Combat airspace interception and control REQUIRES maximizing range and (combat) time on station. With Mt. Um's 24/7/365-available, 2nd party, remote fuel managers for EACH of these fuel-hungry engines of all the fighters aloft, the telling razor-thin margins could be immeasurably better used, monitored and conserved - so much so it makes the interceptors viable at all; in the absence of later modern AWACS aerial-borne airspace combat theater radar and support. THIS development with the KC 135's for the Air Force and E-2/C-2 Hawkeye for the Navy replaced Mt. Um's radar base site's raison d'etra and the rest is history. Good tour of duty in those days, I'd wager.

Look like its harming the real tree.they should've ended its unnatural life.

great video! happy to see the progress being made on our parks

Stay safe everyone ❤

Thank you! Our ecological future depends on such wonderful and important work.

such a great presentation! so much info!

... also, I loved the work the Airmen did each Christmas to place a star on the radar tower. Could see this from my bedroom every Christmas until 1979. Additionally, the radar always added a noise to my AM radio every 7 seconds.... or 15 secs.

family lived there around 1963-64! What a beautiful place.

Where are best ridge and trail to see wildflowers in bay area?

Its growing all over the side of the highways all of a sudden!

Long live Bay Area Backroads!

Thank you! Lovely ranger

This is such a well-produced video. Thank you for walking retroactively through the project. I use this trail every day to get to work, and even chatted with another cyclist this morning. The cyclist bikes from Sunnyvale everyday and was telling me how this trail has been such a huge improvement over how he used to have to bike down University Ave with all of the speeding cars.

Love what you are doing! thank you so much for this eco tour. 💙🌍💚
