This log had a hole in it — makes for an amazing fire experience.
This leaf looked like a giraffe. The only thing more amazing than the leaf is that we were able to get a picture of it.
The rock faces at Banning State Park still bear the scars from the black powder blasting that workers did in the 1890s to harvest stone from the living rock. We went on a 1.8 mile (self) guided hiking tour to learn about the quarry. The town of Banning sprang up and then died with the quarry.
Mykala found this great REI tent, and this was our first trip out with it. Very cozy for 2 people. When we left for breakfast in the morning, we didn’t quite get the rainfly properly closed, and then it began raining. Things dried out easily in the low humidity and bright sun later in the day. We learned our rainfly lesson.
