| no partners | | No hat, no sunglasses but a little chilly for me. I could feel the humidity fairly quickly; I'm sensitive that way  . From the hill below the TH, my usual start point now; I did a counterclockwise half loop plus around the western humps. Quite a few hikers out this afternoon as I was pulling over more often.
Once again, I felt like I was anywhere but in the desert. The grassy areas are filling in even more. I kept waiting to hear someone yell "fore". I sure didn't want to take that many pictures as this hike is for exercise but alas, I found myself reaching for my phone a lot. I need to remember I have my camera as today I saw a bird that I couldn't zoom to quick enough with my phone and later I would see the biggest rabbit I've ever seen over here. I was astonished; it could compete with the largess of the Fiddleneck leaves.
The creosote is still all in bloom along with its white fuzzballs. There were a couple Fiddles blooming as well including a miniature one. I was also surprised to notice several baby creosote along the trail. I can only imagine how all of this will progress over the next month, thus why I took pictures of the smaller flowers-to-be as well. Oh, I did see some London Rocket weeds sprouting up too.
This was a Plan B for Tibberlocks. Quads were sore today for some reason, I suspect from Thursday's Forever Fit class as she did a lot of legs.
Watch: 2:23-3:38PM, 1475-1745 elevation. 126 avg bpm/152 max. 16% Zone 5 max, 46% Zone 4 anaerobic, 34% Zone 3 aerobic burning 468 calories. Temp 64.3 mostly cloudy and 31% humidity (it felt higher) |

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
