On weekends hundreds of mountain-bikers descend on Back Ranch Meadows at my beloved China Camp. The best strategy for not getting run over is to stay out of their way.

Better yet, I like to visit on a weekdays, when the majority of the speed-demons are safely back at work. Quiet enough to hear a bird chirp. Peaceful enough to imagine the Miwok Indians who once lived here, who might have enjoyed the spreading branches of this same Black Oak, albeit a bit smaller a century or more ago.

I have never visited China Camp, although I have heard of it and thought of going many times. Maybe this week, while it's quiet.
On weekends I always leave my Annadel to the poor folk that have to work for a living. During the week it is MY place.
