We drove out and began hiking at 9:45 in the moonlight.
When not under tree cover, you could see fine with just the moon. We putted around on the trail and then off sometimes in the creek trying to rustle up critters. We stopped below Ashdale and hiked up to it to spook ourselves in the old building.
I usually make a little noise when poking around structures after Bob and I's run-in with a highway hobo in Two Guns.
A small bird scared the peewadle out of Dana flapping and bumping around on the ceiling and a very large bird tried to land on my face as I entered and it tried to exit one of the smaller buildings.
We headed back the same way in the creek then drove out stopping at the Sears-Kay ruins.
A very cool very bark looking Poorwill landed in the path and let us get a foot from him. Very pretty.
We took a few quick pics at the top and then before putting the camera away I took a few of Dana with the horizon far off. I set the timer and joined her for one and as we were standing still as can be the wind did something unexpected and pretty jerky (see last photo)
It was a great time. Got home at 3:00am
Trailhead parking
Maybe if we close our eyes they'll go away
Sppoky processing can make boring shots ok
So why do people always take pics of large paw prints on this trail?
Snooping around at Ashdale
Run away!!!
What were they trying to keep out??
Living spaces at Sears-Kay Ruin
This is what a $500 photo looks like.
