Sunday Hike – Spur Cross Limestone Loop

Marilyn and I went out to Spur Cross Ranch Conservation Area on Sunday. Marilyn hiked the Elephant Mountain Loop. I hiked out on Spur Cross and then hiked the Limestone Trail. At the end of it, we met up and hiked most of the way back together, first on Elephant Mountain, then Tortuga, and Spur Cross.  I ended up hiking Metate and Towhee before returning.  Total distance for my hike was about 9.5 miles. Marilyn hiked 7 miles.

Bill on Picketpost Mountain in 2015

I’ve been experimenting with performing color corrections of images in deep shade. I remembered having trouble with this photo of Allen, Janet, and Bill on Picketpost Mountain from March 6, 2015…

Below was my original edit – note that I also straightened the new edit.

Friday Fitness Hike

Nina, Pat, Wayne, Kay, Mike, and Marilyn joined me for a 10.6 mile hike in the Dixie Mine area. We also saw Bill and Stan at the trailhead as well as on the way back – they did some maintenance in the mine area. We also saw Jill who had intended to join our hike, but arrived at the trailhead an hour early; she ended up hiking by herself.

This area was somewhat more slippery than normal due to the puddles and wet sand.
