A little cool at the start, but it warmed up by the end to make for a pleasant day in the West Bragg foothills. Conditions were dry so the trails were in good shape. Lunch was at the west end with good vistas of the view improvement logging clearcuts down by the Tom Snow trail. The morning cloud gave way to sunny skies so there was time for a leisurely rest stop overlooking the grassy meadow area:

Thanks to Madeleine for coordinating the trip, participants were: Ron (scribe), Madeleine, Carl, Francisco, Enrique, Janet and Cristina (photos).

There was a little more than usual wildlife:
