Penasquitos Canyon Preserve

Between LA and San Diego we stopped at Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. (e:Terry) saw a bobcat here. It was really pretty, despite being right down the path of a massive electricity transmission field that buzzed so much that it was loud.

Panaromically Hiking Through The Gorge

We headed down to the gorge but this time, with the water so low, we went all the way down to the bridge. We climbed up and down the gorge wall instead of using the stairs and then climbed just about every rock along the way.

(e:terry) always has to be too close to the edge

(e:flacidness) kissing the rock man.

At the end (e:flacidness) and I ate steak to recoup.

Buckhorn on Grand Island, NY

It had been a while since I had been to Buckhorn on Grand Island, probably about 15 years. I forgot how pretty the scrub between river and forest can be. The day was very cloudy and dark but the temperature was a warm 60F.

It was so nice out that this ladybug hasn't hibernated yet.

The 190 bridge over the creek had the craziest looking swamp slime.

This little mouse didn't make it.

I took a bunch of panoramas too.

I was kind of surprised at the amount of Graffiti. Every nature trail sign and overview was ripped down and replaced with graffiti.

It was fun playing in the trees.

Some trees on East River road had this crazy disease.

I think someone doesn't know its winter yet.

Hiking at Niagara Gorge

I can't believe how low the Niagara river is. I have been there 100 times and never seen the parts of the river bed that were unconvered this time. It was a good 15 feet lower which revealed a lot of interesting rock structures. This time instead of going back up the steps we climbed directly up the cliff. When we popped out at the top we were in a cage of sorts. The weather was so beautiful.

Hiking at Hunter's Creek

On Sunday (e:matthew), (e:tinypliny), (e:yesthatcasey) and I went hiking at Hunter's Creek in East Aurora. We started on Hunters creek rd and randomly hiked around some of the parts I remembered from high school. Having the phone GPS makes getting lost impossible. I wish the weather would last. I kept not wanting to look but I was tracking our trip with My Tracks.

Hiking at Zoar

As we arrived there cops and news crews were in there way out because someone had died. Its a kind of ominous start to a climbing trip. The person had a heart attack kayaking.

The day was nice and warm. Next time we need to start earlier though. We did end up making it up to the top if the section we were trying to get to but once we were up three we didn't gave much tine yo hike around.

Die or conquer

I am either going to die or conquer this tomorrow. I honestly don't care either way.

Prayer In The Park

We went hiking at Niagara Gorge the other day and the Christians had some prayer in the park thing going on.

I can't believe how loud they are. There were like 15 of them but with their loud speakers you would think it was for a crowd of 500.

Why is having a giant loudspeaker not illegal in a state park? I mean most of the people came there to visit the nature and you couldn't hear anything over their bullshit.
