A nice hike in the Park

We got a wild hair going and decided to hike out to the Castle Rocks today. We went all the way out and back in 6 hours! I needed to know if I still could find my way out there since its very jungleish and has a reputation of being a serious bush whack with Poison Oak, Ticks and Rattlers. It turned out to be a cool day, so the snakes were not around, but the ticks and PO were. We’ll see if we get any?? I did find a tick but he was just wondering around on my body. It was beautiful out there and the flowers were still going good. We found lots of deer antlers and saw several large bear droppings that were fresh and he was just ahead of us it seemed. It rained the last couple of hours, kind of a drizzle and we didn’t care. So, gearing up for tomorrow, looks like a big fire might not be so bad eh?? Come on up…………..
