Califiornia Ho! Day Nine - High Sierras Part Five


We gave the critters the day off and went for a hike.

...into a hailstorm. Okay, it wasn't a bad hailstorm, but we had been thinking we'd avoid any more of them.

Nope.

High Sierras. Hail.


We did, though, find this. It's apparently a snowplant, and it's a parasite, drawing energy from fungi in the soil. Common up here, but really only up here.

Back in camp, where it did not hail, we spent an afternoon relaxing and then in the evening did a reading of cowboy poetry.
