A friend asked me how the elfin forest brigade was on Sunday, so here it is for all to read and see:

Well, it was interesting because only four people showed up, and there were supposed to be something like 18. So time passed and the leader didn’t show up. Someone managed to go up and get cell reception. Turns out the hike had been cancelled because of the weather (which didn’t look threatening to me, only overcast, and the previous day had been sunny after morning clouds) and an email had been sent out. I never got the email because, living in San Diego rather than near Escondido, I got up at 5am and left at 7 or so. And I just didn’t check my email (ironic, being an email and internet addict).

Another view of the beautiful body of water we walked around

A view from where we ended up, looking towards the South, and some nice contrasty clouds beyond the dam view.

Another panorama of the “lake”.

Our intrepid group of explorers.

Rock and water. Poetic.
