We hiked this week at one of our routes that we have not visited for quite a while, JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 450. While this route is short on vistas, it was a pleasant hike and quite beautiful with this year's over-abundance of broom in full flower. In places it was like passing though a tunnel of broom. We had a sizeable turnout with Jean, Sky, Fran, Tom, Nancy, John, Toni, Joe, Sam, Deb, Eric, Charlene, Diana, Jeff and a new couple, Mary and Drew. I have heard that this part of Jackson Demonstration State Forest will be the subject of a new "treatment" program to reduce fire risk by reducing fuel load, so things may change a lot in the near future.
Afterwards eleven of us went to the Home Style Cafe for breakfast. In spite of the holiday weekend and a lot of customers, the restaurant was able to seat all of us at one long table with very minimal delay. We were lucky!
Here are a couple of photos of turkey vultures by Toni, taken at the Slack Tide Cafe:
