Bow Willow Area 1/15/2024
We are separating from the beginning. John and Carol will do two bumps and then will return.
Our group will do a larger loop with one of these bumps and several palm groves.
There is even a trail pointing where we are going.
Starting up.
Almost up.
View from bump 1204.
There is a register that was started by Terry.
First grove to be is Southwest Grove.
There is Pygmy Grove in distance.
We meet with Wit again.
One of several our group pictures.
We are wondering how palms are growing their skirts.
On to the next one.
That is Surprise Canyon Grove.
Big skirts.
Short hula skirts like in Hawaii.
Fat skirts.
Another stop, Palm Bowl Grove.
That is also our lunch spot.
Time for another group picture since Wit will be splitting from us.
No skirts at all. Hmmm!
On a way up.
It is boulder hopping.
So we made it up and now it is same thing down.
Back on flat.
Is this a Tarantula Hawk? The tarantulas’ killer?
Complete group picture.
