13 of us plus Sunny took a chance on finishing our hike before it rained. Lime Ridge was the close to home choice. We did the familiar CW loop from the Montecito Drive entrance (out Paradise Valley Tr to the 5-point junction, down Lime ridge Tr to Buckeye Tr and back via Oursan ) It was gray, but no rain for the walk. The loop is almost exactly 3 miles and thru a variety of habitats. The oak woodland section along the south side of the ridge was a real surprise to the new hikers who had only driven along Ygnacio Valley Rd. Then there is a bit of chamise and more oak woodland, a few stock ponds and finally the open grassland. Lots of green.
