Rancho Canada del Oro Hike

A nice quick hike along the Mayfair trail in one of my favorite parks.  We were treated to a beautiful sunny and warm 75F day (early February in the dead of winter).

Wildflowers are just starting up around here so not much variety but we did see a lot of Hound's Tongue and  Milkmaids.  The Shooting Stars were a bit sparse as were the Buttercups(1).  There was a nice showing of Indian Warriors after the first climb up Mayfair.  Unfortunately no wildlife to really speak of today,  we usually find lots of newts back in the creek areas and see at least a few deer/hawks and such.

Post hike refreshments were at my brewery which included pitchers of homebrew and good laughs.  Beers  included Kolsch, RooStoopid(DIPA), Hoppy Pale Ale, Wet Hop Pale Ale, Oatmeal Stout and Becca's Brown Ale.

Good times!
