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
