That Saturday, my friends followed me on a bit of a wild goose-chase to find the lytle nature preserve, a place from my childhood where I spent much time:
playing with toads in the mud,
looking for horned lizards,
clearing nature trails,
watching dad catch rattle snakes,
luring ant lions out of their lairs,
picking cholla cactus needles out of my arms and legs,
getting dust in my eye,
killing invasive frogs and eating their legs,
sleeping in a trailer that hadn't been cleaned for 20 years.
climbing the movie screen (as we call it).
We might have done a few of these on this trip as well...but mostly we just hiked the movie screen. here are some pictures of our 10 minute 'scramble'.

That night we went and saw Les Mis. at the Tuacahn. Notice how everyone else is dressed in cute blouses and I'm wearing a t-shirt that I pretty much only use camping...some occasions just call for fancy.

So very jealous.
I'm sad I missed out on the scramble. It looks like fun.
I just want you to know the hike wasn't so bad and if it hadn't been for the uncontrollable sweating I would have loved the whole experience. Thanks for sharing part of your childhood....I wish I could share some of mine....but cows just aren't as exciting as frogs and lizards.
It looks like you had a great adventure. My favorite part was the list of yummy things you got to eat. Mmmmmmmm scones.
Haha. I was thinking of things to eat like frog legs. Ahhhhhh the good ol days
