Hi friends,
This post is an entry into the weekly Show Us Your California contest hosted by 
I had a few hours to myself as the kids were visiting friends and I didn’t have any work obligations - I decided to go for a hike!
I went in to the local mountains and had a nice hike. I explored an old smattering of homes from many decades ago that had been destroyed by wildfires and hiked along the river. I was also rockhounding a bit, and keeping my eye out for anything interesting. I took these pieces home with me:
Is that cooper or iron?? Need to brush up on my geology.
Here are a few pics from the hike:
(Bear or Mountain Lion?)
As I was wrapping up and headed back to my truck, I was treated to an amazing sunset:
A great time outdoors and a great time exploring my California.
Thanks for coming by,
Brian
