There were eleven of us on the walk at Shell Ridge. We started from the end of Marshall Dr (Indian Valley Elementary School) and took Corral Spring Tr along the east side of the ridge, then made a CCW loop around Deer Hill and Deer Lake before returning the way we came.
After the hike we reconvened at Jennifer's; she has made over her garden the last few years and it is filled with natives along with mature fruit trees, favorite roses, etc.

There were 10 of us on a lovely day full of sunshine, new growth,
and birds. Some favorite flowers were past their prime, but there
was still lots to enjoy. We went CW, up Chaparral Loop to the bridge then Manhattan Canyon to the gate; down the fire road with a loop through the cemetery. Under 3 miles.

There was a big group today...a
wonderful day for walking. This was the standard loop out Black
Phoebe Trail, up Whipsnake across the ridge and down to the
junction with Woodrat then out to Windmill and back to the cars.
Only about 2.8 miles but a perfect walk.
