Quick Hike Before Hightailing

Jackrabbit dead ahead?

I'm posting this from High Rolls in the Sacramento Mountains.  Becca and I did a quick hike this morning, went home, threw some overnight stuff together (it's understood, I assume, that Becca has no paw in throwing anything together), and made a beeline into the high country.  I'm meeting a tree man here later this afternoon to get an estimate for removing dead pinyon trees from 2.3 acres of property.  The bad news ahead of time:  we have a lot of dead trees here.

You can see why this is called Feather Dalea
