Hiking on Monday

Almost a goose cloud
We had more rain yesterday, and the morning was sufficiently humid; but a nice wind kept the heat index down.  The whole area was deserted today, but we did run into one woman (a regular) hiking with her German Shepherd.  This morning I found myself worrying about the county's plan for extending Sonoma Ranch Boulevard beside Tortugas Mountain.  When they finally get around to doing it they will successfully ruin the outback experience of hiking near the mountain.

I'm glad that most of the ocotillo are still green.

Chain yourself to an ocotillo when the bulldozers come to extend the road!

Reminds me of a story from when we lived in Arizona. Some turkey (human type) was out in the Sonoran Desert taking potshots at Saguaro Cacti. He decided to empty a whole clip into one, and the darned thing fell on him. The man lived. The Saguaro did not.
