Sunrise 5:48 am: Appreciating trails nearby

Cassie, who has had just two jaunts around the lake since the Dawn Joggers return, was more than ready to hit one of her favorite Portola Valley trails this morning. It's about perfect for a 12-year-old Aussie, mainly in the shade and with a couple of dipping pools usually available, although today one of her favorites had strangely dried up. As the DJs walked along the 3.5 mile loop that they call "short Portola," they were struck with how scenic things are close to home.
