On our way back to San Jose from Pismo Beach, <P1>my daughter</a> and I stopped
in <P8>Atascadero</a> 
for an easy hike just off US101 at the junction with SR41. Pine
Mtn is the highpoint of Stadium Park, with several miles of trails traveling the
oak woodland understory on the <P3>lower slopes</a> and chaparral-covered 
hillsides <P9>higher up</a>. There is a <P4>survey marker</a> 
labeled "ASUNCION" at <P5>the highpoint</a>, named
after the old Mexican land grant for the area. It was a pleasant enough hike
in Spring conditions, a short leg-stretcher taking less than an hour to survey
the trail system.
