Well Pernell invited Rowdy and me to do this hike and we jumped on it. We met up at the Oak Tree Canyon Trailhead which is fairly new and is really nice.
Pernell’s dad shuttled us to Gardner Canyon Trailhead and on the way there we seen three deer crossing the road. Of course we had no idea that was all the wildlife we would see except for a few hawks.
Once we were on trail it was cold and windy and sometimes really windy. Go thing we were both prepared for the weather. We only met one couple on the entire hike. The solitude was nice and so much to see without anyone else around.
Hopefully we can do some more hikes before the heat kicks in.
