02/24 Black Diamond



There were 11 of us on a glorious spring day in Black Diamond Regional Park. We usually only find the white shooting stars in the field above Jim's Place. Today they were there right at the start! Wild cucumber was everywhere. And the Indian Warriors were having a pow-wow. And birds...several varieties of hawks, vultures, jays, juncos, flicer, and I heard chickadees and nuthatches. The group started together up the Chaparral Loop Tr, but we soon separated into sub-groups. The darker pink on the map is the route Susan, Phred, Elaine and I took and after lunch also John and Ulla. The lighter pink is the route for the others, I think. Mileage varied widely. Those of us who extended the loop to Coal Canyon walked about 5.5 miles. The others less.

Something new this time...If you have double clicked a picture so you can see the description, you will note that I have indicated on which trail the picture was taken.
