Thanks to the UHers again for a nice album. You weren't kidding about the lizard in the tree.

Important safety tip: Please don't feed snacks to animals without the owner's permission. I had a beloved old pony who lived on soft food. He choked to death on a piece of apple that some well-meaning stranger fed him not knowing he would not be able to chew it.

Great stuff, sorry I missed you as you walked by! Feel very lucky to live in this neighborhood. That strange fungus is called chicken of the woods, and I hear it is edible, though I have not partaken. And don't take my word for it!

Hikers, thank you for this interesting and ambitious report. I look forward to reading about your adventures each week. Savoy Restaurant has a delicious dish called Chicken of the Woods. MTNDRIVER, could it be?!...

Very cool pics, I love seeing anything and everything that is off the beaten path in SB. As a native I recognize most of these places but some are new. I would have loved to tag along for the trek, who thought up the idea and organized it? Where was the Golden Retriever crossing posted? Keep up the good work, brings back many great memories and makes me want to get out there and do some sightseeing.

Urban Hiker here: Thanks, guys. We're glad you enjoy our stories about all the adventures Santa Barbara has to offer. To 403: We're pretty sure the Golden Retriever sign is on Las Canoas Lane. We got a kick out of it not only because the sign is funny, but also because it's paired with a home security system sign...we guess that Golden is a little too playful to be a serious threat to intruders. As for tagging along, when we "finish the town" we are going to invite anyone who cares to join us for our final hike. We had expected to have the hike (but the posts will continue) sometime this month, but I had knee surgery three weeks ago and that has slowed down our progress. Stay tuned for more on the date, time and place of of final hike. We'd love to have you come along! Lastly, if you go to the main Edhat Santa Barbara page and click on the Urban Hike tab on the left hand side of the page, it will take you to all of our past posts, covering many local neighborhoods. If you scroll to the very bottom of the page you'll see our first story - it tells about our hike project, and why in the world we ever decided to walk all the streets of our city.

Angelica, I don't know about that dish at Savoy. Where is Savoy? How come I don't know about it? Love the Urban Hikes pieces every week. I know someone else who has done this same thing, walked every road in the city--but his M.O. was to bring a trash bag and pick up litter--especially cigarette butts, yuck. Got me inspired to bring a plastic bag on my walks in the neighborhood.

To STACY, I am looking forward to your post of inviting us folks on your last hike. I have loved and enjoyed reading about your hikes and seeing pictures you post with your articles. Thank you and hope for your quick knee recovery. Hope you pick a day that is sunny and not raining.

Oops, a correction here: the firescape garden is actually at the corner of Mission Ridge (not El Cielito) and Stanwood. Right across the street from the fire station.
