December 28-29, 2023 Shoshone, California

 High of 68 and sunny.



I went hiking with my friend Toni in the Badlands trail behind China Ranch Date Farm. It was lovely. 



Some flowers. Five spots and phacilia. We went up a side canyon.



Toni coming up the canyon. Mesquite bush.

Fall color at China  Ranch Date farm. Some desert gold out the window on the way back. 



High of 67 and sunny. We hiked today with the Pahrump hiking club, off Emigrant pass looking for the mule Old Spanish trail. Evening primrose, gravel ghost, desert star, lizard, the Old Spanish trail marker, phacelia and three tiny cactus.

On the trail. The Mesquite valley and Kingston Mountains.
