| no partners | | Haven't been out here for a while. I decided on a clockwise loop. The TH lot was pretty full as were the trails, but that's to be expected on a Saturday morning. Needless to say, I felt like I was hiking a golf course. There are certain flat sections that could be fairways. I had a good hike up the mountain so I was glad of that. There were wildlfowers scattered throughout with only a few bunches here and there.
I actually passed a few hikers today  . The temp seemed humid at first but there was a nice breeze most of the time. The overcast skies also helped. Getting closer to the TH there were lots more hikers and I did see a couple rabbits. Earlier I had seen a couple lizards and heard a couple cactus wrens. I saw a quail up in a tree doing his mating call.
I actually took a few movies today. I haven't made a video since August so I struggled a little putting it together. I'm still publishing videos from early last summer. Well at least this one is only 9 minutes and we get to hear music by @LosDosSloFolks [ youtube video ]

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
