Bay Nature Institute Bob Doyle and Dave Collins, of the East Bay Regional Park District, led a group of lucky Bay Nature hikers onto the just-acquired Tyler Ranch, which put the district over 100,000 acres. And during their 75th anniversary year. Hurray! The parcel is not yet open to the public, so this was a really special outing.

Facebook has blocked this link, please post a link to another source. I read about this in the Chronicle months ago. It's a bad idea to build any more city on the Bay's wetlands.

Sadly, I can't get special plates without giving up my disabled plate and going back to a placard.

These are so cool!

I'd love to get one but it says on the site that so far only 250 pledges have been made and the process started in 2008. We need 7,500 by next summer for plates to be issued. What is being done to make that happen?

I know I'll get my money back eventually but I still want to be pretty sure that I'll actually get these cool plates before I open my wallet.
