View from Linda Vista - Oct 28, 2006
I decided to climb the hill above Linda Vista park in Cupertino, which is directly North of the Gravel Pit. It's a steep climb, but I'm clearly not the first to do it. The path is little more than a deer track, but there's a fair amount of trash left by visitors. At the top of the hill you get the following view overlooking the Gravel Pit:-
At the top of the hill a natural hollow had been used occasionally as a small fire pit. The area round about was littered with tiny white pellets. These turned out to be tiny plastic BB Gun pellets. A couple of half-empty bags of pellets confirmed this:-
But what was more disturbing was to find an unused fire lighter. Was this a clue to the cause of the Gravel Pit grass fire?
Or perhaps it was just left behind by someone who had used the "fire pit". Either way, in the midst of a hot dry summer this was definitely risky behavior to leave unlit fire-lighters in the dry grass.
