Woke up slowly, perhaps a result of the benedryl I took last night to help with my yellow jacket bites – they’re much better today! Hiked 4.5 miles at the Highland Springs Recreation Area. There’s a reservoir surrounded by what could be meadows if we had rain. Although hot – around 100° – I drank water and went slowly. Returned to camp for more water and a nap, followed by my festive lunch. There’s a nice breeze blowing, so it’s quite pleasant sitting outside, reading my book, and listening to K-Pop karaoke broadcasted from a few campsites away.

Deer – many of them! – on the trail.
California…dry grass and oak trees.
And manzanitas!

Happy Fourth of July! Red cherries, white yogurt, and blueberries.
