Rose/San Clemente Canyon 9/22/2025
We are ready to hike, John is already looking for G.Cs. and Hersch is not here yet.
In a ditch.
Do not stray off, poison oak is everywhere.
Stay in the middle.
Nice canopy.
These are edible.
There is a strange sound on the other side.
It is Hersch! Somehow he was waiting for us there.
Continuing on.
Two trolley tracks, two rail tracks, four car lanes on each side of freeway.
Found this scarf.
Lot of graffiti.
Perplexing old tree trunks.
More of it.
There are even these forbidden healthy palms here.
Got into different/bonus canyon.
Nice BMX jumps.
Got back where rest of the group is waiting for us.
Complete group picture.
