Today felt like Seattle. It was raining hard when we woke up but had tapered off into a nice drizzle/mist by the time we made it to the trailhead. True to form, our fellow Orange County-ites stayed indoors for the duration of the day. We didn't meet a single other being (although we did see lots of bare human footprints along the trail. Strange).
Patterns in the mud caused by rain runoff.
Yes, I slipped and landed smack on my posterior in the mud. I was sliding down the hill trying to stay upright...obviously I failed at that task.
