On Friday morning we made a short hike around beautiful
Hidden Valley. Because it’s shaded by
the rocks, pinyon pines and oaks grow here, so of course we saw an oak tit
(Bird of Day).
After noon Leo drove off for a trail run in Los Angeles,
leaving me vehicle-less for 2 days. He
stayed in a motel overnight and ran on Saturday. There are worse places to be stranded. Other than moving my chair around the trailer
trying in vain to sit in the sun and out of the wind, there is a long-distance
horse trail passing right by the campground, so I walked down it for one hour,
then turned back. It’s a rather
unadvertised trail so it was just me, a few birds, the Joshua trees, some
boulders and a few thousand prickly plants out in the desert for a few hours.
On Saturday, I hiked up into the Pinto Mountains in the
morning, and got a great view of the park and our campsite. IIn the afternoon I
headed out in the opposite direction, where I saw this boulder with a hole in
it:
