Default RR: Blackstar wildlife 3/26/08

Great solo lunch ride up Blackstar today...a bit hazy but still plenty warm. Saw no other riders beyond the parking lot...but stopped for 5 snakes!

This red diamondback was a beaut...and wow do these suckers get big. Lots of gopher snakes out, countless lizards, butterflies, and of course wildflowers. What a glorious time of year to ride!
