A list of all the trails & trail systems that I am day / segment hiking, or have hiked / biked.

Wholeleaf indian paintbrush (Castilleja integra) with a fallen trail post. By this point I had learned not to handle the fiberglass posts -- splinters! -- so I nudged it into place with a stick.

Inside the storage tank of a wildlife "guzzler". The glow is the outlet to the "escape ramp", where game drink.

Confusion was the theme of the day! Sign reads [Promontory "V" Tree]. Supposed location of V62, but etched as "V63". Didn't find any marking on any of the four adjacent large trees -- one broke near base -- and I scanned them 360° all the way up. (In case the mark gained height with tree growth.)
