A Full Day

We awoke to a cold morning at 6am that left us both wanting to linger in the coziness of our sleping bags. We scurried to get our things together and start moving. The morning temps felt great to walk in. By the heat of early afternoon we reached the Lake Morena Campground where we rested next to the water spicket. We continued to walk through the desert terrain suprised by how much plant life surrounded us. Many desert flowers seem to be in bloom and often shrub type bushes surround the trail. We've seen many animals: lizards of many types, squirrels, rabbits, 2 grass snakes, birds,tons of humming birds, and one baby rattle snake. The rattler was in the middle of the trail relaxing in the shade. He was very non-aggresive as most all snakes I've encountered seem to be. With a little gentle direction of my trekking pole he moved on by. We later came to a campground with the water turned off. Luckily a few miles further we enjoyed some water from a cache near a road !
left by some trail angels. We made camp about 30 min before sundown.
