Sorry… a lot of time has passed since I took this hike; almost a month.
Below we have a sad story: the Red Queen hemlock next to TILE Creek in Herman Park, mentioned in several Baker Blinker Blog posts, has fallen down. Compare with a picture here.
A beautiful Frank Park meadow close to Cache Creek.
There’s an especially interesting, narrow ridge just off its upper end terminating in a rock face. I promise to come back soon for more photos.
Moving about a mile or 2 west in Frank Park, we return to Gene Fade’s Mountain for more exploring. The big find of the day, as I recall, are some quite large rocks positioned in the middle of two batches I’d already known about. Again, I don’t have any proper names for these places yet, and once again I’ll get back here soon enough I’m sure. More stories then.
In the distance of the below picture we have what I believe is a icosahedron shaped tent, most likely set up for deer hunting purposes. This lies outside the borders of Frank Park, but too close for comfort still.
Another pic pertaining to the 80 fence post artwork discovered in November.
