hiking
          Today Keith, Tala, and I hiked Castro Crest Trail.  It is not difficult but was very nice with pretty views and some bouldering (on very crumbly sandstone).  The hike started in a recent burn area then descended into a lush canyon bottom before ascending, switch-back style, up a fire-road and then back down to the parking area.  Tala had great time.  She met a couple of horses and got up close and personal to their droppings (see pictures).
