Beyond Second Arroyo

Frio and Willow
Dr. K, Willow, Frio and I descended LDR-A this morning, crossed the Tellbrook Arroyo and hiked up LDR to Second Arroyo and beyond.

The reason I wanted to go past the arroyo was to take a couple of photos of a late blooming Soaptree Yucca I had spotted while hiking up the dirt road.  It's the second late bloomer we've come upon recently.

After a brief stop we turned around and decided to enter First Arroyo for a short respite.  Afterward we retraced our steps, down LDR, across the Tellbrook Arroyo, and then back up LDR-A to the waiting CR-V.
