Tonight I decided to take a bit of a longer walk with Stevie the dog. We walked towards the river. For some of you, the river is usually fairly dry. Not much water. One would wonder why they call it a river. However, I remember the flood of 1969 when the river was flowing bank to bank and washing out bridges as the water ran towards the ocean. So yes, towards the river.
As we made out way through an overflow basin we came upon a woman that said, there is a snake on the left. It may be dead. You may want to keep your dog away from it. To Stevie and I that sounded like an invitation. We walked along and sure enough there was a four foot or so snake. It looks like a garter snake, however it was not wearing one.
We continued our hike along the river bed and then up the backside of Mt Rubidoux. Lots of people were at the top waiting for the sun to go down. We stopped for a drink by the cross and meandered on. I took a few shots of the sun going down and have one to share. As for the hike, it was a nice 4.6 mile trip with a snake and a sunset as part of the adventure.
I really like this picture. I’m glad Stevie had such a nice adventure!
