I hit the not-so-dusty trail this morning in the dark to search for the geocaches on the west ridge of Spring Canyon, north of the 52 and west of Santee.
It was a chilly and misty morning in MTRP. The frogs were croaking, and there was a bit of water in the streambeds. And puddles on the trails to negotiate in the dark!
On the trail in Spring Canyon.
I keep passing these shot-up cans, I better take a picture to remember them by.
Climbing up the trail out of the canyon I saw a deer, so I got out the camera, but it was gone. Then I saw a hawk sitting on a wire, so I took a quick pic.
But it flew away! So, we get to look at some interesting slippage of land.

Elephant geocache.
Blood from getting stuck by pointy things near elephant geocache...
SpongeBob Squarepants geocache. These were the two cuties of the day.
Well, this one was SUPPOSED to test your ability to spot the geocache in the center of the image, but something went wrong!
I reduced the size and saved it at full quality. Pooh!
This dad and daughter duo passed me (with no warning) as I was heading back to the truck. Daughter is not wearing a helmet, and was riding like a maniac!
These guys took the muddy path, and I took the somewhat drier path.
Well, that is it for today. I found fifteen caches, I think. I'm sure I didn't find two. And that makes nine hundred and twenty career total.
It's not JUST about what I had for breakfast...
