Wayne led 26 hikers up the Tewksberry trail, but not from the trailhead; he started us out from the Upper Beaver CG. The first step was to cross the Beaver Cr. via a well made log bridge, then up the gully and coming up to the trail in the middle of the first park. This is the best way to hike this trail, since we avoided the hazardous rocky and steep start of the trail. The rest of the trail has loose rocks due to the ATV usage of the trail.
Lots of wildflowers out, if you notice each rose has a resident insect on it; I think the aroma must be the attractant, (ant, get it?) so much for bad jokes..........
The mushrooms are starting to be found, Wayne & Linda found some Aspen boletes down low, so be on the lookout for them...
It was a great hike, although we had a "downer" when we got back to the cars; all the cars had a yellow envelope requesting $6.00 payment for the parking. The concessionaire is within their legal right due to the provision of potable water, a toilet and level campsites.......even though the cars were almost all parked off the road.
Doug will be leading a hike Wednesday, I will NOT be leading a hike Friday due to the SF parade and 3rd of July celebration...
