Picture Extravaganza!

curvy tree

Went for a little day hike today, turned out to be quite grueling, about 2000 vertical feet in around 4 miles... about an hour and a half from my house, out of the Plumas-Eureka State Park near Graegle, California. Park at the old Jamison Mine

and take off up the hill. First you come to Grass Lake,

then skirt the edge and continue up the hill to Jamison Lake,

and its spillway,

small fall

then a little detour over to the aptly named Rock Lake,

then up the hill.

finally up to the pacific crest trail, you can see it weacing up the hill in the distance, quite the hiking highway!

A little macabre, i know. This is what i found on my sidewalk when i got home today.

This is what happens when you screw with my pest control.

I have an understanding with the black tomcat from up the street.

He didn't clean up after himself today, however.

I bet the head was tasty....
