That was at a national park. Good memory. Actually, it’s not really a walking/hiking culture and parks are usually like one to a city, quite dismal. Sigh.

Yeah, we’re really lucky to have so many nice parks here. Are there any good parks in/around Thai cities where people can hike? I feel like I remember a post you wrote about a school hiking/camping trip.

Oh yes, you’d love it! Right up your alley.

Yes, and actually we’d had thunderstorms early in the morning before we went!

🙂 Fluorescence can be enhanced after late afternoon thundershowers.

We’re just starting to green up in SoCal after our rains.

Yeah, we’ve had soooooo much rain this summer so everything is fluorescent ????

Ahhh, that’s sad about the development! There is certainly a lot of it all around the park.

I was last there about 3 years ago with two others – we pretty much had the place to ourselves; saw several zebra. Sadly the south views had changed from only having a few single homes / farms to quite a few cluster etc developments … There are also two areas/edges of the park which were sold for housing developments – on a map you can see the cutaways in the SE and SW.

I’ve always entered from the north at Frandaph Drive / Silent Pool. Unless things have changed there is no formal parking; one parks on the banks and the residential street.

It’s definitely on my list for a revisit. 🙂
