Sunol Regional Wilderness & Sunol, CA (Cellphone Photos)

Yesterday, on the 21st November 2025, my mom and I went to Sunol Regional Wilderness in Sunol, CA for a walk. Later we circled over to the town of Sunol, CA for a short while before returning home. I took photos with my cellphone. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Our main stop on the trip was Sunol Regional Wilderness in Sunol, CA. I got to see a bobcat, however it was too far for me to take any photos of it. I got a nice view through my binoculars though.

Sunol Regional Wilderness (Cellphone Photos) - Sunol, CA

On 29 December 2023, my parents and I went walking along Ohlone Road in Sunol Regional Wilderness in Sunol, CA. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

Message from the Photographer: Just a little update health-wise. You probably noticed I haven't posted photos for months. Unfortunately I have been sick since September. During the month of September I got infected twice. Not sure what it was, but I'm pretty sure I had walking pneumonia for the second infection. I had a post-infectious cough that would not go away, and I was dealing with mild asthma. Fast forward, at the end of November, our entire family caught COVID-19. My mom and I are now dealing with post-COVID syndrome, and it has been a month since the initial infection. My brain barely works at the moment, and the brain fog hasn't cleared. My energy has been slowly returning. Asthma and the cough are still being treated with varying degrees of success, but it seems to come and go now. Life has just been pretty hard on me lately so I haven't been out and about taking photos. As for my vision, my night time vision remains semi-usable, but unstable, with my day time vision fully working. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to taking photos soon, but I'm unsure how long the recovery is going to take. I suspect there is probably long term damage in my respiratory system.

Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park (Cellphone Photos) - Sunol, CA

Yesterday, on 15 April 2023, my parents and I went hiking in Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in Sunol, CA. My mom and I hiked to Sunol Peak from Tyler Ranch Staging Area. My dad turned around part of the way up since he hasn't completely recovered from his leg injury a year ago. I took photos with my cellphones. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

Before I get started today, I just wanted to tell you about the Midland two way radios I used on this trip to communicate with my dad. I frequently use these radios on my trip because cellphone service isn't always available. On this hike, I used the Midland GXT1050 Radio and my dad used the Midland GXT1030 Radio. Like I said at the beginning, my dad turned back part of the way due to his injuries. There was a short section of trail where the communication came in broken and my mom ended up calling him on his cellphone (he was taking photos around the parking lot and Sunol Downtown). I think there was some interference coming in from other people transmitting, and from that section of trail, there was a severely obstructed line-of-sight (a lot of hills in the way) back to the parking lot. The furthest test my dad and I did was with him in the parking lot (Tyler Ranch Staging Area) and me at Sunol Peak (highest point in Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park). There was mild obstructions back to the parking lot from Sunol Peak (slight hills). The distance was approximately 2.6 miles apart, and we were able to communicate clearly. Please note that two way radios tend to work better when transmitting from mountain peak into a valley. I've used these radios for many years on my trips and I highly recommend them.

Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park (Cellphone Photos) - Sunol, CA

Today, on 13 February 2023, my mom and I went hiking in Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in Sunol, CA. Our original plan was to hike from Tyler Ranch Staging Area to Sunol Peak, but we turned back 1 km from Sunol Peak. Today, the heavy winds arrived a day early. When we were almost at the peak, we could barely even keep our balance, so we had no choice but to abandon the hike. In retrospect, we should have turned around half way up the mountain because the wind was already pretty strong, and it only got worse as we gained elevation. The wind speed at the peak probably hit 40+ km/h (25+ MPH). I took photos with my cellphones. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

At the beginning of the hike, a nursing calf was blocking the trail. All I could do was shout "DRINK FASTER DANG IT! (喝快点！)". 😂 I thought that was the worst thing to happen on the trail today. I was wrong. The wind was the worst thing to happen on the trail today. 😭

Yesterday, on 11 February 2023, my mom and I went hiking in Augustin Bernal Park and Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in Pleasanton, CA. It finished raining at around 11 AM yesterday.
