4 wheeling - Red Hills

We joined a local group for 4 wheelers and went on our first trip with them to Red Hills.  It was a short 4 mile dirt road and 7 vehicles went.  I spent a good portion of the trip hiking the trail that they were driving.  
Gray pines grow in this area and the cone above is from a gray pine tree.  
The dogs all needed a bath when they got home because they ran thru many of these puddles.
Grace drove. She had wanted to take her rig but ours is better equipped.  Ahi was the co-pilot.
I found this super cool "Elegant Sunburst Lichen", which is native to California.  It is the same color as a California poppy.
This was a cave which we were told was used by an escaped convict to hide out in until he was found.

Oh Oakley!  She frolicked in this puddle to the point where she had mud on her head and snout!

We hiked them down to the creek to get some of that red dirt off of them but they all still needed baths when we got home.
