Elusive Trail

July 26

On my last day in the desert, 2 volunteers and I went to make some water drops and check out a new trail. We got so lost it wasn't all funny, and were wandering around in circles. We climbed over rocks, got scraped, almost slipped... and the car was in plain sight!!! We were unable to find the trail we were looking for until there was like 30 minutes left and we noticed it was much closer to the car then where we wandered off.

It was kind of scary, because we were in an area where a mountain lion was sighted recently. We saw some bones and skulls of several animals, including a deer. We decided to beat a hasty retreat. It was not fun at all...


Deer skull.


A view from the rocks. There was rain there recently, and a small lake formed. It is very shallow and has probably dried up by now.


The trail we were actually looking for...
