At the western end of Big Rock Ridge (by the big rock itself), along Lucas Valley Road.

  

This "Skywalker Easement" trail leads into Loma Alta, a bunch of open space between Lucas Valley and Sir Francis Drake Road.

  

 

  

I think that's George Lucas' elusive Skywalker Ranch hiding back there across Lucas Valley Road, but I'm not sure. I haven't been able to spot it on any other hikes.

 

  

 

  

That cow looks like a horse.

 

  

The view pay-off at the eastern end.

 

  

That bird happened to fly right through my panoramic sweep, so all four birds are the same bird.

 

  

 

  

Looping back through some "non-system" fire roads, I came across this shotgun shack. Oddly enough, the clock hanging up in that outbuilding had the correct time and was still running, so I hastily moved on.
