Today we took the jeep out for a spin across the desert. We went out Rockhouse Rd. toward Rockhouse Canyon, where there is/was a desert spring and a site of ruins. We didn't find either, but it was a fun trip anyway! We drove out about 9 miles, until the road got a little too rough for the Wrangler. I guess we should have got a Rubicon! Then we hiked for a couple of hours, and came very close to where the spring was supposed to be. But I was tired (and feared that we would be gone past "wine time"), so we headed back.

| And here is the group, in context. These plants live and flower at the base of this sandy cliff, several stories high |
