THAT'S A TALL TREE!

Friday August 24^th – After a cup or two of coffee we headed back to the same hiking area for any early morning view. An hour or so into the hike we made it to Eagle peak – one of the trees looked like it could be a good eagle’s nest. The view north and east was great but more tall trees limited anything else. We didn’t find the Lost Ponds trail – many of the signs are missing or blank. Linda was happy someone had a sense of direction…

 

After lunch it will be chore time again. Laundry and wash vehicles are high on the list.

 

 

 

 

 

Thursday August 23^rd – We spent much of the morning making reservations and plans for the next month or so, and decided to stay here a few more days to accommodate the available spot over Labor Day – forgot that could be an issue. After a late breakfast or early lunch… we fixed Huckleberry (fresh here) pancakes. Then we headed to a hiking area not far from here to check out some of the trails. We hiked for about an hour and a half – the smell of pine in the air is wonderful. We found some small ponds down one trail and talked to a local hiker about the area – he said we might see damage from a fire from Eagle peak. Maybe tomorrow. He gave us directions to a Winco grocery from there so we stopped for a few things on the way home. On our evening walk with Lexi she found a covey of those California Quail – the look similar to the AZ Gambel Quail but they sure sound different. They were in an area outside the campground so she was allowed to work them.
