DCHS 2-10-12

It was a beautiful day at the springs yesterday with warm temps, blue skies and light breezes. On the way hiking down I passed a young woman who was trying to get a call out for her friend that was having an asthma attack while climbing the trail. I showed her where to get a cell signal not far from where she was. Phil who went to Burning Man for the first time last year was there, and we soaked and chatted for some time in the Womb. Another guy Tim up from the Long Beach area joined us for a while. Other regulars like Don and Jason were there but other than that it was a pretty quiet day. A police helicoptor showed up and worked on rescueing the asthma vicitim. It took the law enforcement quite a while to get the resuce done and it was pretty noisy at times. The Womb temp was 101, and the Serenity pool was 107. The creek was 54 degrees. The tree that fell over by the grassy are has been all chopped up, probably for fire wood and there is only a big stump and some roots left. There are some signs of spring, even this early. At our home our Joshua Tree is beginning to show the bulbs for the blooms. On the way driving up to the springs I saw some type of fruit tree in full bloom ( pink petals ). Also other various desert plants are showing some spring like growth. January was the warmest month ever on record for the US so I'm sure this is inducing the early spring growth. Well today the weather is quite a bit differant with windy and cold conditions and scattered clouds. Glad I went to DCHS yesterday for a good soak :-)
