At least the weather is good

Another gorgeous day here in So-Cal. Temperatures were in the mid-80s and it was, of course, sunny. The local paper keeps saying this is the kind of weather that makes so many people want to live here. Yeah, if only it wasn’t for the crime, overpopulation, pollution, horrible traffic, and idiot drivers, this would be a perfect place to live. Well at least the weather is good.

I spent the day doing Engelmann oak work today. We set up some new transects in a section of the Cleveland National Forest near the Tenaja Trailhead. The area was closed to the public until recently (i.e., within the last few days) because of fire risks. Ours was still the only vehicle parked in the trailhead parking lot, so it was a nice (temporary) escape from the hustle and bustle of the rest of southern California.

Tomorrow is an office day, so nothing exciting will probably be taking place. Hopefully we will get a chance to get outside this weekend and do some hiking. The weather will certainly cooperate.
