Another day, another hike!

After work I ventured off for another hike. The place I really wanted to hike was still closed from the flood, and I suspect the parking lot and other parts have been washed out. 

So, I ventured to Rabbit Mountain (formerly Rattle Snake Mountain, and for good reason, unlike the mountain in Maine with the same name) and took a different path then my usual. (Saying usual here is a stretch, I've only been to Rabbit Mountain 2 times before).

However, I was longing to be somewhere that had trees overhead, and while the park I wanted to go to was thick with tall ponderosa pines, Rabbit Mountain has fewer trees unless you walk for a mile or two. Even then, it's not like the forests of Maine, but still pleasant.

I had only meant to walk for a half hour, but I ended up walking for an hour instead, as once I got started I became too curious where the path lead and had a hard time turning around.



Look! TREES! Oh, boy.



Golden Eagles. I watched one land and catch a rabbit






















So it's been roughly a week since I've officially started! Hurray!
It was another very windy day.
