Carrizo Gorge from Resort 5/6/2025
Hiker’s parking lot at DeAnza Springs Resort, formerly known as a Nudist Colony.
On our way. John lost his backpack somewhere so he is going back to look for it.
Our first stop as usually is at Heart Break Hotel (old movie set).
It is now occupied by green illegal aliens.
Is this new?
All together so it’s time for our first group picture.
Some BIG boulders.
Alann and Larry are climbing up to the Temple Peak.
More pictures while we are waiting.
Cave with a view.
Following one of the nice trails.
Lot of interesting boulders.
Is this a trail?
Boulder with eyes.
Turning north.
Off trail.
Cacti is still blooming.
That will be nice place to have our lunch.
Cool in shade, warm at sun.
Where are we and where we are going? Decision!
John and his group are leaving us.
We are continuing into rocks.
So far so good.
It is getting steeper with bigger rocks.
We did not get all the way to the top since rocks got even bigger and also that was a wrong top anyway.
Going down.
Back down on some of the trails coming from the Resort.
Intersection.
Almost back.
Today John is awarding his society t-shirts.
Our complete group again with John’s shirts.
That is not all yet! John is playing/awarding his bingo game to everybody who is present.
