Home Up June 18 Continued


City of Rocks

Hosted by Evelyn, Robin, Pat,
Michael, Caitlin, and Megan

Other than the terrible cheat grass and the rain that came in the afternoon,
this was another great ride!  This is a really interesting area, geologically,
and there were lots of pretty wild flowers.  Several wild critters were seen,
including a scorpion, a bull snake, a bunny rabbit, a baby owl (and 3 grown ones),
a vulture, 3 fox pups, a rattle snake (heard at least), and an osprey with its prey.
As usual, there was also yummy food afterward.
We hope everyone had a good time!

he didn't seem too concerned when people walked around that way
