Looking back down the Chumash Trail that we were climbing up.
|
|
 |
One reason for hiking here was to check on the geocaches after the Springs Fire. This one was missing so we replaced it with a brand new container...
|
|
 |
...After hiding, this is what the geocache looked like.
|
|
|
|
 |
You would think these cacti were dead, but many of them have new growth on them

Looking up the trail that goes to the top of Mugu Peak, our next destination
|
|
 |
From above, you can see that someone has scraped a happy face in the ground!

Looking west and back down the trail that climbs Mugu Peak
|
|
 |
The flagpole at the top is still in place. I guess someone replaced the flag after the fire
|
|
 |
The base of the flagpole has geocaching containers chained to it. What gives?
|
|
 |
This geocache looks okay, but it was melted shut, so we replaced it.

Looking east from Mugu Peak, with Boney Mtn in the distance, it's easy to see where all the trails go

Looking North into La Jolla Valley
|
|
 |
Heading east and down, towards the La Jolla Canyon Trail
|
|
|
 |
This geocache survived, but the contents were melted into a charred glob

Plants are starting to regrow in places!

Another geocache that didn't quite survive
|
|
|
|
 |
Months after the fire, a burned tree has succumbed and fallen over the trail
