Mt Madonna

We went on a hike today to Mt Madonna.  I had not been there in years and years but because of the crowds we are trying to go to more remote locations.   That didn't really work because when we showed up the parking area was packed.  But we decided to take a different trail that was 2 miles straight up and I think that scared some people away so it was only moderately trafficked.
Drew, Kaylene and Oakley joined us.  We hiked up to the very top, hiked around the campground and headed back down.  We enjoyed looking at the different plants and G even sketched them - see previous blog post.

Since we hiked with people outside of our pod (for the first time since about May), we wore masks the whole time.  Normally we take them off when we are well away from people.  It made for a very sweaty mask.
What is a trip to the redwoods without a banana slug!


After the hike we had a socially distanced snack time.  We enjoyed some snacks from the farmers market.
