The weather dorks said rain all day and as usual, they were wrong again. It did
pour buckets in the City but it was a gorgeous bluebird day out in Lyle.
Only four people showed up for this hike. Their loss. Jim and Steve did a great
job once again. At the trailhead, Jim Denton talked about the topology and early
geologic history of the area. I've heard this talk several times and the information
is always new and fresh.... as I've said many times, Jim is probably the smartest
guy I've ever met. We always enjoy going on hikes with him.
There were a lot of turkey vultures out here today.
I almost stepped on this snake. Jim said it's probably a gopher snake.. harmless.
