I am glad to be home. I took a shower and rinsed out a week's worth of shampoo. The water down in Escondido was really, really hard. I might've been better just rinsing my hair and not trying to clean it.
Driving down there was fun. The way to my motel from pretty much the rest of civilization involved a U Turn against 5 or 6 lanes of opposing traffic, following by an immediate hard right. There was a left arrow signal, but at night it was hard to parse an intersection that big with no street lights or reflectors, just 10 pairs of headlines pointed at me. (10 pairs counting cross traffic) And I had to keep an eye out for people making a right on red.
The way I took back to San Diego involved having to merge across 5 lanes of highway traffic in less than a quarter mile or being exit-only'd back North towards LA.
Onto the pictures:
Wild bunny! I had 6-8 blurry pictures on my disc and nearly erased them because I though they were a mistake or something. I realized what they were just in time. I'd taken a bunch of tight focus shots trying to snag pictures of a bunny down the trail.
The trail was steep at times. This is why I wanted to allow time for a slow descent with lots of breaks. I can scramble up this pretty easily, down is another matter.
Hiking around the lower parts of the park.
This is near a creek. The water source lets it go from scrublands to oaks. The air was different under the trees, cooler and less dry. I could smell the water. Most of the foresty area along the water seemed to be on private land just to the East. This bit of public land two nice groves.
