A Short One

View from the hill just west of Right Branch Arroyo
We shortened our hike significantly this morning because some gun nut was firing a high-powered weapon (sounded like a rifle) just east of where we usually trek.

So our outing today consisted of a descent down LDR-A arroyo, a left turn up the alternate long dirt road (LDR-A), and a return to the CR-V.

Fortunately I was able to get some pretty good images while we were out there.
