I was carrying Rome on my back "paxie".
It was roughly a five mile hike. My legs are very sore today.
Tristan and Kassi got out their nature journals and drew the different plants and general landscape.
The trails through the area were cow trails. Toly had a great adventure.
The view was spectacular.
All the home school kids climbed the cattle gate and waited in silhouette for the adults tho catch up.
It was such a steep climb that I had to take several breaks.
Here I am standing on the edge of one of the mostly dry vernal pools.
There were lots of blooming plants. The purple stuff is a type of field mint.
Rome was fascinated by the huge cracks in the ground.
Everybody loves Rome.
This is about half of our group.
We plan to come back in the early spring when this place is allegedly teeming with life.
This seems like the deepest one.

That looks like a lot of fun. It sure is a different world over there.
Ron, it is very different here. I am still getting acclimated in the deepest sense. I would have something between this and what we had in Missouri. Perhaps in a few years that will happen.
