Maybe the trail was softer then. The oaks are a protected species around here. Even if you have one in your yard, you're not allowed to mess with it.<BR/><BR/>Babooshka, one thing I like about Pasadena is being on the cusp of city and wildlife. We have easy access to Los Angeles and to mountain trails as well (trails are closer). I work in the city but crave the country, so it works.

I remember seeing my first King snake there. I also remember the Live oaks, mostly for their curled up, sharp pointed leaves on the ground that hurt so much to walk on or touch. (Why was I barefoot?) For years after that, I thought I didn't like oak trees.USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-2571833685978844722008-06-05T13:27:00.000-07:002008-06-05T13:27:00.000-07:00You wanna come over and hike with me through our G...You wanna come over and hike with me through our Grampian Mountains where I live?<BR/>You can if you like!<BR/>It's noice!<BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/6ezh7zfreefallinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08863000229609701796noreply@blogger.com
