Finished Shake trail by hiking 1.6 miles down from the top to the Meadow where I turned around on my longest bottom up hike.
Nice hiking, beautiful area, ideal weather, perfect solitude ... A++
The upper trailhead shows some burn damage, but as soon as you start down the trail, that is all left behind.
Found my first ever shed antler - the cutest little antler - laying in the middle of the trail like a gift.
Looked for one geocache - not too hard - and DNF.
Visited a hummingbird that I observed building a nest last week ... nest is now complete and Mama is (presumably) sitting on tiny eggs.

Saw, but did not photograph, my first Grace's Warbler.
When I got home, I stopped by the Lake and unexpectedly added 3 more pretty good to pretty darn good birds to my life list in 15 minutes!

Gonna throw those photos in too.
