This particular tree is located on the northern end of Almaden Lake, just down a bit from the Peppertree stand. There are several other Fan Palms growing nearby, and I see them all over the place in San Jose.
Today I began the Jeff Galloway training plan with a six mile "long run" to the red pedestrian bridge at Camden and back.
[Photos: California Fan Palm Tree (Washingtonia filifera) In the top picture you can see "the cube" on top of Mt. Umunhum (upper left). It was the early warning radar building at the old Almaden Air Force Station that operated from 1956-1980. The building sits at about 3,486 feet elevation. Almaden Lake is at about 190 feet elevation. Click to enlarge.]
