A beautiful day for a hike!

I joined The Land Conservancy of San Luis Obispo County’s six mile with about 600 foot elevation gain hike around Santa Rita Ranch, one of about 50 local properties under conservation easement with the Conservancy.  Not only did I get to explore the ranch, I also got to play with my new camera, Fujifilm XE5!

There were two creek crossings.  The second one had a bridge, but this one didn’t.  Instead of walking over slippery rocks and through lots of poison oak, I took off my shoes and socks so I could walk to the other side!
