Sunrise 5:47 am: Return to Arastradero

The Dawn Joggers and Cassie headed out to Arastradero, their standard Friday activity, for the first time a month. Not surprisingly, much of the grass land had turned brown, although there were still patches of green, both grasses and other vegetation, in some of the more protected areas. The usual deer and bunnies were spotted, and they could hear the wild turkeys in the distance. What was most distinctive was the height of the vegetation - many grasses were waist high and some of the thistle plants approached six feet. Not good for the upcoming fire season; time to bring in the very efficient goats.
