Don't be complacent with West Nile Virus

With a renewed threat from the mosquito-spread West Nile Virus, there are new warnings across the state to be wary whenever people are outdoors.

Fortunately, Los Vaqueros doesn’t have a major mosquito problem.

There are a lot of natural predators to mosquitos out here — bats, frogs and birds — so we’re able to maintain a good ecological balance.

That doesn’t mean hikers and anglers can be complacent. West Nile Disease can cause severe illness and even kill.

It’s recommended that wherever you hike or go outdoors this summer — including LV — that you wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants and apply mosquito repellent with DEET.

Bike & Hike to the
Top of the Dam
Saturday, March 21, 2009

Our Third Los Vaqueros Bike and Hike to the Top of the Dam is set for Saturday, March 21, 2009.

Help us greet the first weekend of spring at the top of Los Vaqueros Dam between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

It's a simple event, but always fun. Just meet us at the top of the dam and we'll have plenty of snacks, fruit, beverages and nice gifts.

We'll also have discount coupons for our LV Dam Trials April 18 and LV Wildflower Run May 2.

You can hike, peddle your bike, or even ride your Segway!

Enjoy the view, and relax with us. There is no race, no organization, no entry fee, no leader, no class.

We always enjoy this very casual event. Please mark it down on your calendar.
