Lockwood Valley Creek Hike
Today, Steve and I took Kramer and Murray on a hike/walk at Lockwood Valley Creek. It was a wonderfully pleasant day.
We drove to the four-wheel drive parking lot and started off at the creek. Along most of the walk, we were in the creek which was pretty shallow, a little above ankle height. There were larger pools near the middle and we saw some small trout, with the largest being about 6 inches.
I always am careful were I step, but since Kramer was bitten by the rattlesnake about 1 1/2 weeks ago, I am even more observant. Today, Steve "reminded me" about watching out. Luckily, I didn't see a snake, but did see the tiny horned toad in the sand near the creek.
We walked for about one hour up the creek and then back down.
We took a nice leisurely walk while the dogs ran in and out of the water, covering about 20 times more distance than us. Now, they are tired from romping in the water and running all day.
