Message #4004 of 4034  *NEW* To From Subject Date All Carol   Last part of my vacation - CA Poppy Reserve 4/20/08, 10:17am (Last Edited: 4/20/08, 10:18am) On the way home from Mt. Diablo I decided to stop at the California Poppy Reserve. It was a windy afternoon so the poppies were closed but there were few people out and about and the clouds in the sky made for a glorious afternoon. I hiked the north and south Antelope Trails as well as part of the trail up to Antelope Butte.

I've got to get out there before the poppys go away. We went there several years ago and it looked much like it does now, which is the best it has been for the past several years. -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4005 • Back to Topics

I'm thinking of going there later this week. A friend's daughter sent me a Flat Stanley for her school project and I've been trying to decide where I'll take him... -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4006 • Back to Topics

Hi, Lon, I think it is off Hwy 138 heading towards the I-5 from the 14. I was out there several years ago and that is hiw we went, I think. -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4007 • Back to Topics

The one I'm talking about is the Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve (http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=627). It's only a few miles from me. I've been seeing a lot of signs around here that the area is really in bloom right now. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4008 • Back to Topics

I just remember we took a road from the 14 to the I-5. It went directly through the preserve. It was incredible. The hills looked like they had orange carpeting. -------------------------------------------------------- " I lift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help.", Psalm 121 -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4009 • Back to Topics

You mentioning the I-5 is what had me wondering. I guess the 138 gets there eventually, but that must have been a long drive... The poppy reserve is quite a ways from the 5. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4010 • Back to Topics

The bloom is supposed to be peaking now. Go in the morning to hopefully avoid the wind in the afternoon. -------------------------------------------------------- The mountains are calling and I must go. ~ John Muir ~ www.tarol.com -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #4011 • Back to Topics
