Off they go again in a field of dasies

|
 |
Did we just come up that way?
|
|
 |
There's still a bit of climbing to do, but Ann-Marie is ready for some skiing!
|
|
 |
Jim had to head back early
|
|
|
 |
Zig-zagging up the hill. The trail was pretty steep here.
|
|
 |
A bit of a traverse, then the top...
|
|
 |
...Well, maybe the top is over the NEXT hill!
|

Most of these flowers are white, but a few are faint blue
|
|
 |
In case you're not sure where the top of the hill is, there's a flag to mark the spot
|
|
 |
A break for a snack. We can't see the Channel Islands today.
|
|
 |
Starting down from the top, they gave the photographer a head start so not all of the pictures would be of their butts!

A closer view of the antenna complex

 |
This group looks a little confused
|
|
 |
It was pretty steep coming down from the top. There were a few loose rocks, but the grip was pretty good because the ground was still damp. It will be really slippery when it gets dusty.

Back on the flat again, heading into La Jolla Valley.
|
|
 |
In the valley, some clumps of grass were growing pretty tall
|
|
 |
Somewhere in the distance, to the right, is the ridge with the Overlook Trail
|
|
|
|
 |
There are water snakes in there, somewhere
|
|
 |
This mini-Godzilla was trying to impress me by doing push-ups. I guess it had seen too many movies with the governor in them.

|
 |
Another section where the photographer had to stoop over to avoid getting whacked in the face by the branches
