We headed out on the Lost Palm Oasis. It was a bright beautiful cool day. There was wash…read, deep loose sand that gets in your boots. There was hard packed dirt with loose sand…read, slippy slopes to test our balance. There were boulders…read, deep knee bends. It was beautiful though. We saw hummingbirds and another new lizard. An iguana we think. We actually watched a faceoff between him and a Chuckwalla. Very slow motion stare-down sort of thing. Funny!
It was a pretty good wildflower walk as well.
The oasis stretched a long way up the valley and the view was magnificent out across the neighboring mountains. Well worth the walk. We both tossed and turned more than a little with some muscle aches that evening…that gave us a little pause; but still, worth the walk.
