a belated Happy Earth Day!!!

11 of us spent Earth Day scrambling over boulders in a no name canyon.
Only one snake encounter (Gopher), thankfully. Click photo to go to video from the hike.

Gopher snake and hikers - who has right of way? Guess :-)

A big thanks also to Steve Jones (our favorite botanist) for joining us!
I personally learned 3 new plants including the Desert Poinsettia aka Beetle Spurge.
