We decided
that it was time again for a little exercise so we choose a hike. The hike we
took is considered moderate with little elevation gains. It is a two mile one
way hike so we figured that a four mile and couple hour hike would be just what
we needed. It was a beautiful bright sunny day and still cool enough to be
comfortable.
The
trail head is on the north side of the lake so we got to see a new area that we
haven’t seen yet. We thought for sure we would run across a snake or two but we
didn’t. In fact we saw nothing other some small lizards that are always
present. We did notice a lot of evidence indicating the presence of wild
burros, they said there are a lot of them in the park however other than hearing them
occasionally we have only seen one so far and that was on the entrance road the
day we arrived.
The wind
kicked up again this afternoon which prevented us from putting the awning down
preventing us from sitting outside. We are hoping the wind will die down enough
so we can BBQ this evening. As I am typing this I noticed that the wind has
indeed quit so it is BBQ after all.
Finally some
sunset pictures that show how beautiful the sky became after the wind blew some
clouds in.
