Hello Alan, thanks for the trip report! Loved seeing those spaceship like Lenticular clouds off east past Luna Mountain during our hike out This evening here in north eastern Apple Valley it started to rain about an hour ago. I hope it continues through the night. I am looking forward to the new flower season coming soon. As I was climbing Sidewinder Mountain out in the desert last week I did come across a single flower up on the higher slopes. When I got on top as I was eating my lunch this Bee kept buzzing me and I thought " where did you come from? ". Then a few groups of Buzzards came soaring by, on their way migrating north, another sign of spring!
