BACKTRACK - Miller Canyon
Eighteen hikers and 4 dogs (including Gus, who was lost and then found with help from Good Samaritans) spent most of hike along a cascading stream and under live oaks with an orange glow suggesting fall rather than spring. It was mosty sunny with a nice breeze.
Wildflowers were seen including verbena, dalia, yellow monkey flower, yellow columbine, buckthorn, aster, and barberry. Butterflies including mylitta crescent, tiny checkerspot, pipevine swallowtail, two-tailed swallowtail, texan cresent, and duskywings were also seen.
It was also determined that Nancy Pelosi is 79 rather than 89 as suggested by a tv program. And Gus was allowed to chew on a deer leg he found in light of the ordeal he experienced. -John B.

SIDETRACK - Camp hike options?
What hikes will be on offer May 4th (camping weekend)? If you have suggested (or want to suggest) a hike to lead that day please send me a short description this week. I will include the various choices in the next blog. I suppose any hikes should begin at Bonita campground at 9am to allow time for non-camping hikers to arrive.
