Calaveras, The Wall
For me, “the wall” is the final section on Calaveras Road going east from Milpitas. It’s difficult and made more so by the effort reaching it from Piedmont. Someone had spray-painted “the wall” on the pavement near the start.

Within Fremont City Limits

Best Trails in Mission Peak Regional Preserve, Fremont, CA
Here is a map of the trails on Mission Peak, a popular hiking spot in Fremont, CA. You can start the hike at Ed Levin Park in the Milpitas hills or take the easy way up from Stanford Ave. in Fremont.

Mission Peak Trails
Map shows the Mission Peak Loop, the Hidden Valley Trail, and the Peak Meadow Trail. On weekends, the Mission Peak trails can see some pretty heavy foot traffic. Dogs must be on leash as there are cattle grazing right along side the trail, between the cattle crossings. Be careful about checking out rock formations: there are rattle snakes! Spectacular views of the whole Bay Area and often all the way to the Sierras award those who make it to the top.

Within San Jose City Limits

Alum Rock Park Trail Map
This is a great hot summer day hike, as this trail provides plenty of shade relief. Check out the remnants of the mineral spring spa. The trail starts paved, then turns to dirt pack. The trails of Alum Rock Park are now back open to the public after closures prompted by mountain lion sightings and then a large wildland fire in the vicinity.

Alviso Slough Trail Loop Description and Views
The trail around the salt ponds is officially part of the Bay Trail. You can take the trail clockwise starting at the Marina, following along the levee above the Alviso Slough, with the salt ponds on your right.

Coyote Hills Regional Park
Bike riders may take the 3.5-mile paved Bayview Trail within the park. Bayview connects with 12 additional miles of trail along the south levee of the Alameda Creek Trail, and to the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

Guadalupe River Trail
The northern reaches of the Guadalupe River Trail is open from Alviso at Gold Street to Grant Street near Highway 280. The portion through Guadalupe River Park and Gardens provides many opportunities for recreation and entertainment.

Recipes for Weight Loss and Heart-Healthy Eating

Good nutrition is one way to reduce your risk of developing heart disease and stroke. But in times of Covid-19, being stuck in the house, it is easy to forget to eat less and move more.

You might be snacking on cookies rather than something more nutritious. Try cherry tomatoes or grapes  for a healthful snack. Break kale into chip-sized pieces, toss with some olive oil, and spread on a cookie sheet. If you are ok with salt, sprinkle some on. Bake at 400° for 4 minutes. Voila! Healthful chips, and they taste better than you’d expect for kale.

Abortion Providers Near Milpitas

Is abortion legal in Milpitas and nearby Santa Clara County cities?
Yes, but abortion clinics are not available in each city. Milpitas just happens not to have one, but there are three nearby.

West Coast States Launch New Multi-State Commitment to Reproductive Freedom, Standing United on Protecting Abortion Access
Published: Jun 24, 2022
In the face of U.S. Supreme Court Decision on Roe vs. Wade, California, Oregon and Washington will continue to be a safe haven for all people seeking abortions and other reproductive health care services in these states:
The governors of California, Oregon and Washington today issued a Multi-State Commitment to defend access to reproductive health care, including abortion and contraceptives, and committed to protecting patients and doctors against efforts by other states to export their abortion bans to our states.
This Multi-State Commitment affirms the governors’ commitment in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s unprecedented decision to strip away a constitutional right that has been in place for half a century, leaving abortion regulation to the states. The sweeping decision means that for patients in more than half the country, home to 33.6 million women, abortion care is illegal or inaccessible.
A copy of the Multi-State Commitment to Reproductive Freedom can be found here.

Low Cost and Price Comparison Insurance

California Healthy Families (SCHIP)
Healthy Families is low cost insurance for California children and teens. It provides health, dental and vision coverage to children who do not have insurance and do not qualify for free Medi-Cal.

To be eligible for this benefit program, you must be a resident of California and a U.S. Citizen, National, or a Non-Citizen legally admitted into the U.S. You must be uninsured (and ineligible for Medicaid) and meet one of the following:

  • 18 years of age and under, or
  • Pregnant, or
  • A primary care giver with a child(ren) 18 years of age and under.

Children’s Health Initiative
Provides access to health insurance to the estimated 71,000 uninsured children in Santa Clara County. CHI includes three health insurance programs: Medi-Cal, Healthy Families and a local program called Healthy Kids.

To meet the new goal, the Children’s Health Initiative incorporates three major program components:

  • Every child in Santa Clara County shall have real access to regular health care as a result of being insured.
  • No uninsured child who is a resident of Santa Clara County, and whose parents have an income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level, shall be turned away from receiving health coverage.
  • Establish an Outreach Plan, which will include education of families on the appropriate use of their benefits and the health care system, and improve enrollment retention.

Covered California
The Covered California Health Exchange is the government agency offering subsidized Obamacare plans for this state. The California Health Exchange was created to assist citizens and legal residents with applying for marketplace coverage in order to comply with the Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). When the law was passed in 2010, each of the 50 states had to decide to either create a state-run health insurance exchange or offer enrollment through a federally-operated exchange. This state chose to create their own exchange and called it “Covered California”.

  • Lowest Prices.
  • Government Discounts.
  • Easy Enrollment.
