Dad joined me one day for a Santa Ynez hike and took a rare picture of me on the trail.
The campgrounds at Trippet Ranch.
A wild turkey! A bizarre encounter.

Dad's picture of me standing alone on Eagle Rock.
We had started to hike back down, when I realized it might make a cool picture for me to run back up to the top. So I did, and Dad took the picture.
Dad headed out to the waterfall.
The Santa Ynez trail doesn't get too much traffic, and this offshoot gets almost none.
Almost always green, even in a dry year.
Dad enjoying the trail.
A grove of horsetail. I'm not sure if this trendy plant is native here or not.
Getting close to the (sort of) waterfall.
It's a bit of a scramble to get back to the waterfall.
