This series starts just past Bay Area Park on Bay Area Blvd. and curves to the south-east (right) on Red Bluff, and then turns onto Kirby. Parking and restrooms are located at the entrance to Bay Area Park. Parking can also be had at several pull offs on Red Bluff. Stopping and hopping on either street is highly discouraged as these are very busy roads with high speed limits that few observe anyway. There is a nice, paved trail along this series, which makes it great for biking!
APPLE MINT
Like the Jolly Green Giant, both the leaf and the height of the apple mint impress with their size. If the Mint Family Reunion committee offered a souvenir T-shirt, apple mint would be the big kid asked to stand in the back, while its cousins—peppermint, spearmint, horehound, lavender and the rest—smile broadly from the front row. Often grown as a prolific, aromatic ground cover, apple mint performs extra duty as a culinary herb and a healing agent. Apple mint is also classified as a strewing herb, meant to be strewn or scattered here and there in households and granaries for its potent capacity to repel rodents. It was also strewn across temple floors to generate a heavenly aroma as its scent was released upon being trodden by devotees.
