Bald Butte

July 13, 2000
       The Cascadians were a small group today.  Only four.  Sung, Moonja, Cookie, and Omar.
Although we may have felt hot going up the trail to Surveyor's Ridge, there was a cool breeze at the ridge. . .   And in fact, the wind was almost cold at the top of the hill!
        I do not remember seeing so many beautiful lavender mariposas anywhere!
