| no partners | | One of my usual weekday hikes. Headed up the Ruins trail; for some reason, someone has built cairns in a few places along it since last week. Not sure why, because there's pretty much only one way to go on that one! Near the top, I made a quick side trip to 2197, then headed up to National.
Went east on National. Nearly all the wildflowers are gone, the only ones left are the brittlebush, which is drying out. Creosote & ocotillo are blooming too. Went up Goat Hill, but only stayed for a minute since there were three tarantula hawks buzzing around. Continued east, then down Pyramid. I saw a couple more tarantula hawks, and plenty of bees all day, but they had no interest in me. Nice, cool morning, with a pleasant breeze. |
