This summer they predict a lot of kids will go hungry as they won't be getting breakfast or lunch at school and I thought at least they could get the overage of fresh fruits and vegetables from neighborhood yards. I live in Concord and was hoping you were the person who organized that great idea so I wouldn't have to start from scratch! Please let me know. thank you. Susan Hi,

I started in 2004 when I retired from EBMUD. I am not the first person to do this. Jennifer English finished in December 2007, even though she started after I did. But then, she’s a lot younger, and probably fitter too. You can read all about her experience at Walking Berkeley.

I have reading and enjoying your stories about walking for over a year. Thank you! I live at Sacramento/Ada and those deer you photoed are real pests! They are to be seen at all hours chomping roses and other stuff. To answer your ? they come down the creek that crosses Monterey and wander all around this westbrea neighborhood! Have not seen one get hit by traffic on Sacto Street yet, but it is only a matter of time I guess. Congrats on completing your wonderful project! Hi!

There is one path that you probably haven't explored yet, since it doesn't entirely exist yet. If you click on the following URL you will see a googlemap of a possible pathway (as well as unrelated others) providing an almost direct link between UC campus and Tilden park. The path needs some more love (read: wear) in order to come into being, so it would be great if you or anyone else would like to take an adventure by trying to find and go up it. Also, if anyone would like to help improve it (cut down weeds, attach a rope to the fence at the steepest part) let me know. (Click on the hiking icon in the map for more specific instructions.) http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=110913979735647539957.00000112efa9c54dc4b38&ll=37.879943,-122.251922&spn=0.005123,0.010042&t=h&z=17&om=1 And if you do give this a try, it would be great if you could post about it to draw more attention to it. Thanks! Great blog!

My wife and I moved to Berkeley in 2003 and recently started a neighborhood blog http://www.willardpark.com for "news and minutiae" from the area around Willard Park. If you haven't wandered around Willard, be sure to give it a stroll. Also check out Fabric of Berkeley http://berkeleyfab.wordpress.com/ by my friend Jon Brouchoud for another Berkeley walker blog.

We're the group that published the map. We also are building wood-tie paths on previously unimproved pathways mostly in the hills area between the UC campus and Marin Ave, maybe you have walked on some of them. I saw your very interesting blog and wonder if you are a member of Path Wanderers? Our membership fee is just $5 per year per household, and for that you get our little newsletter 4 times per year. Our website is www.berkeleypaths.org, hope you check us out. It might be nice to have you write a short article for our newsletter sometime about your goal of walking every street, path, and stairway in Berkeley--it's the kind of thing our members would be interested in, I think.
