With a forecast high of 74 deg, it seemed like a good day to head out. Although I didn't have a firm plan for exactly where I wanted to go, the route ended up pretty similar to several other recent postings: basically it's a Dutchman-Terrapin Loop. Highlights: Let's see, I saw a Gila Monster crossing the road a few hundred yards down from the Peralta Trailhead. I saw a garter snake (I think) swimming laps underwater in a 20' puddle terrorizing the tadpoles. I found a Ranger's Walkie Talkie in the middle of the trail near the Needle Cut-off (and turned it in to the Sheriff's Office). I saw hardly anyone else all day!
