The fire-road had standing water in many places. While on the western part
of the fire-road the wind began to blow so hard that my eyes started
tearing such that it was hard to observe so turned my back to the wind and
returned.

TRAIL NOTES of March 12, 2019

TRAIL NOTES Jasper Ridge

5 of us gathered Monday morning at the Escobar Gate to walk and talk and explore. We took the fire-road to Trail 9, up that trail to Trail C and took that to where it intersects with Trail 9 again. I was the only one who had been on Trail C before.

Observations made were all those flowering plants mentioned from last week (19) plus the following were in bloom: Chaparral Clematis, Manzanita, Blue Nightshade, Hillside Gooseberry and Redberry.

Also noted was one Brush Rabbit and 6 or 7 caterpillars of the Variable Checkerspot on their favorite food plant Mimulus.
