We did a quick 3 mile hike to finish off a few of the geocaches we missed the other day along the Big Ben Regional Trail in Oakley, California. The weather was in the low 60's and the sunshine made it a perfect day to go geocaching. Our walk started among the houses along the trail but soon gave way to open fields, a canal and serenading Red-winged Blackbirds.
We spotted Mallard ducks swimming in the canals, White Egrets, Gold Finches, Purple Finches, which my Dad commonly called Red-poles and a couple of Northern Harriers, but they didn't want to pose for a picture.
We learned that our newly-found friends, Bruce and Loretta will be heading back to Carson City, Nevada. We were lucky enough to have dinner with them tonight and share a bit more of our lives and hope to have the pleasure of our paths crossing again on our travels, where ever they may lead.
Thanks for popping in.
