Further to my earlier post, some people are unfamiliar with the term
"Frank's Dump". Here's the description from the MDAS place names site
http://www.diabloaudubon.com/places/index.html ( a good site to know
about):
Franks Dump is at Hayward Regional Shoreline in Hayward. Take the Winton
Avenue exit from Interstate 880, and go west to the end. Park at the
West Winston Ave parking lot. Franks Dump is the active refuse area to
the north. You can take either trail out to the bay and then head north
along the Bay Trail.
This description is incomplete in that the shorebird place is a
non-tidal mudflat area just north of the dump. It's a flat walk of over
a mile, from the parking lot then along the bike trail at water's edge.
The trail separates the bay from the mudflat and provides excellent
viewing.
