Headed out to Usery with Celina. Got started just after 0830 and headed up Wind Cave Trail. Warm and breezy. Right behind a group of 26 hikers. I made sure I didn’t have anything related to HAZ visible on my clothing or gear, then boldly passed all 26 of them over the next half mile. No way was I dealing with that.

Stopped at Wind Cave since Celina had never been there, then headed up to the ridgeline. Stopped at the south summit first, then we headed north. Celina enjoyed the easy scrambling and the views. The breeze was nice too. Saw one group of five just south of the summit.

Slow going through the cliff bands off the northwest side of the ridge. Once we reached the Loop trail, the breeze was gone and it was a warm hike as we headed back to the trailhead. Saw the same group of five as we were finishing up.

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
Saw some poppies and a few other flowers.
