Activity for Tuesday. October 5.

We arrived at the park this morning, and it was much less windy. We started to walk the same trail at 7:10 AM hoping to see a pattern with the people who visit the park. We took note of the types of cars parked in the lot next to the entrance, which was much more packed than yesterday. The cars included a Toyota Sienna, VW Toureg, VW Jetta, Toyota Corolla, an old green jaguar, and a VW Golf (majority are volkswagons).

Breakdown of the activity:
7:10 AM- Male jogger. Begin filming trail.
7:11 AM- Male (early 30s, white, tall) with 2 hyper "Lassie" dogs. Talks to us but in a hurry. Says the creek runs underneath his house.
7:13 AM- Two women (30s, one white I'll call "Ashley" and the other Hispanic I'll call "Cheryl") fast-paced walking with 1 dog (spotted terrier with spiked collar named Ozzie). Talk to us about coyotes. We listen to Ashley's recording of coyote howls on her iPhone, and she says the coyotes are packing and there are 6 of them.
7:16 AM- Woman (50s, tall, white) walking two large dogs. Talks to us about history of the creek. Local and friendly, wise personality.
7:20 AM- Male jogger. See "Beatrice" again walking dog Charlie.
7:21 AM- Man (white, 40s, serious features) walking two dogs. Can't talk. In a hurry.
7:22 AM- Female jogger (20s).
7:25 AM- Young woman with growling black dog crossing bridge.
7:26 AM- Hear large group of people on the opposite (left to us) trail. Sounds like a school trip?
7:30 AM- Reach summit. See man sitting behind a rock smoking. Meet woman I'll call "Leslie" who proceeds to give us her own personal tour of hidden trails after there is some tension with the man behind the rock. Given the opportunity to gain some personal insight we skip the filming of traffic. As she leads us through the steep inclines and dense brush, she fills us in on the politics and drama surrounding the park. She is passionately all for the wildlife in the area and discusses how humans always have to control everything. Talks about the negative rumors surrounding the coyotes, and considers herself a protector of them. Shows us hidden spots in the trails, and warns us not to enter some of them. Vibrant, highly educated, local, and passionate about the wildlife.
8:13 AM- Proceed to walk back to entrance. See "Greg" again with dogs.
8:20 AM- Get back to parking lot. Review notes.
8:25 AM- "Aida" arrives in parking lot with dog. We leave.
