The forecast was for heat, so we wanted an easy walk with some shade. This hike from the end of Castle Rock Rd to the picnic benches just before the gated entry to Mt Diablo State Park filled the bill. It is exceedingly dry. We were glad of the dappled shade and occasional breeze as the car thermometer said 83 when we got back about 11:30. 9 of us enjoyed the hike anyway. About 2.7 miles
As to the question about who or what Ithuriel was (think the common name of Triteleia laxa): Ithurial was an angel in Milton's Paradise Lost. With the touch of his spear, the true form of a body was revealed (Satan in the form of a toad in the book).https://www.flickr.com/gp/momcat_ksw/qR4Gx1
