Finally Some Rain

We did finally get some rain yesterday. The forecast was for it to begin at 11:00 AM and be done by 11:00 PM, but it didn’t really get going until just before 11:00 PM and was soon over. I’ve been hoping to get some rain to test the water bars and drainage ditches on the trails. This morning I was out the door early to survey the trails and I found the ground had pretty much soaked up the rain, no erosion damage. While coming back on the Buckskin Trail I spotted this Common Chuckwalla soaking up the morning sun. This is the third day in a row I have seen him. As a side note, today is the last day of February, which means Jeanette and I are finishing up our third month of our volunteer service here at Buckskin Mountain State Park. We weren’t sure we could stay put this long, but we are loving it!
