Second trip out to Jeffords. Nice little off trail that is a pretty easy bushwhack. Storm is rolling in, and winds on the peak were in the 40s mph with gusts at 50+. Very nice day.

Went out on this trail, looking for fall colors, but there really weren’t many there. Went in about a half mile, then turned around to try another trail.

hiked from a home south of the conference recreation center up Tabernacle Drive to Redwood Chapel to Ridge Camp Road to Fairy Ring Trail. Hiked east on this trail to Pool Trail to Frontier Ranch, where I saw 4 wild turkeys walking around. Then when down Frontier Road to Cathedral Drive, and took an unnamed, steep trail back down to the rec center and back to the house, forming a big lasso loop.

Led 81 people (mostly out of towners) on the northern loop, clockwise direction. Took a crazy long time to move that many people two miles! We started just before sunset, so the last half of it was in the dark with headlamps. Around the turnoff to Pusch Peak we encountered a baby rattler that became a big deal to them (because most of them had never seen one before), and many of them spotted a small scorpion on the way out near the trailhead.

From Garden of Gethsemane to our prior stopping point north of Speedway, then down to Paseo de las Iglesias across from 41st Street and back. Visited the Las Milpitas Community Farm, a few historical markers, and walked through the Garden of Gethsemane when returning.

Planned to do Josephine and Hopkins peaks, but didn’t quite turn out that way!

Started from Madera Canyon, plan was to do Josephine first. At Riley Saddle we turned off and got a little ways in before calling it. The brush was insanely thick, no way to make it currently that I could see and I was trying to follow the HAZ track.

So we abandoned that summit attempt and headed for Hopkins, taking Super to Agua Caliente, and at the point where we were closest to the Hopkins road, we took a little, steep, unnamed path straight up to it, then hiked the road to the summit, having lunch on top.

We headed down the summit road a short distance then bushwhacked down the steep mountainside to rejoin the Agua Caliente. There was nothing really to follow there, though we did stumble onto game trails a couple of times for a little ways which helped. We then headed down Agua Caliente to Vault Mine Trail to Old Baldy, back the short distance down to the trailhead.

Weather was perfect, and we saw a number of deer and some birds. Great but tiring day!
