The good folks at Weekend Sherpa have a quiz for all the smart Dartmouth folks:
Q: First national park?
A: Yellowstone.
Q: First state park?
A: Big Basin.
Q: First urban National Wildlife Refuge?
YouÂ'll have to be a bird nerd to know the answer to this one, but hey, this is Silicon Valley, right?  Come spread your wings and impress a date or your fellow alumni by knowing FremontÂ's 30,000-acre Don Edwards S.F. Bay National Wildlife Refuge — yes, the first urban National Wildlife Refuge established in the U.S.  The habitat borders the San Francisco Bay and is home to over 280 resident birds. ItÂ's also a fall rest stop for feathered friends flying south for the winter.
Join us as we — led by a park Naturalist — stroll the 5-mile Newark Slough Loop Trail, circling salt ponds filled with favorites like the great blue heron and the endangered California clapper rail. November regulars include migrating golden-crowned sparrows and yellow-rumped warblers. Binoculars are available for loan in the visitor center for prime viewing. NerdÂ's the word!
This event is dog-friendly!
