We've been trying to go hiking every weekend and made it four out of five of the weekends in January. Two of the hikes were on the same trail in Quail Hollow Ranch in Ben Lomond. DH is making his best "wood rat" face as we start on the Wood Rat Trail. This is a clever little fence block to keep the horses off this trail.
The first time we pooped out and didn't get all the way to the top, but the second time we made it the whole way. Gradual improvement is still improvement.
The peeling bark of the madrone is so funny to see, it somehow gives the tree so much personality.
Halfway up the trail, but we can't see the ocean yet.
Sometimes the fallen logs look unreal or even fake to me, like this one. The texture of the bark splitting as it all dries and retracts is so interesting. This would make a good quilt design. Adding this to my
possible quilt designs list.
Gorgeous Jack O'Lantern mushroom.
We made it to the very top that has the view out to the ocean. A very nice picnic spot.
