The base of the mountain
We're going up to the top of that
A cat keeps watch
One of many crazy boulders
An almost stonehenge-like collection of "natural chimneys"
Looking over the hillside
A rock climber boulders
Anand takes a picture
Another boulderer
The telephone poles made good points of reference
Poway Road and beyond
Lots of rocks
Rocks
Another telephone pole
Between a rock and a hard place
Anand with the tongue rock
Blooming lambs ear
The rock we dubbed "Easter Egg" (it was Easter Sunday)
Nearby Iron Mountain
Anand takes a picture of these strange water "shelves"
Nature's pantry?
Is it fair to use the "between a rock and hard place" joke again?
I stretch my legs
A cactus -- the same kind which attacked me and cut my leg
Nearing the top
Looking over the hillside
Anand stands next to a boulder for scale
"Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky tacky..."
A telephone pole at the top
Looking down
