Ginger and Karen took their friend Lenora to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek, then had lunch in downtown Walnut Creek, then visited the John Muir National Historic Site in Martinez. John Muir founded the Sierra Club and urged President Theodore Rooservelt to preserve Yosemite and other sites.
