I parked at the bottom of my Hill and walked up so that I could do a nice long bike ride down through the recently reopened state park. Since there were already a pile of people parked at the very bottom at 730am, I wanted a nice spot to myself.

The marine layer was lovely today too. Made for a much less hot day. Ended up being about 13 miles of biking plus the 2 mile hike up the hill. I picked a total of 13 ticks off of myself and only saw 3 people in total. So it was definitely an overgrown trail in an of the beaten path area. Enjoyable day!

Sooo nice to ride on dirt again. I enjoyed the challenge. Quite a few ups and downs and rocky downhills and tricky stream crossings. I had to sweat quite a bit and cautiously brake to get through the whole trail. Having a local trail within biking distance of home again is great!

Is that green typical for  this time of year, or the showers last week?

Around here it turns brown by July, then the color of blackened soot by The Santa Ana Wind-Fire Season of September... then mudslide brown during the rains of December. It’s SoCal’s circle of life.

As Johnny Carson once said, years ago, “Around here at least you can count on the mudslides putting out the last of the season’s wildfires.”

We’ve had bouts of rain, so it’ll be green for awhile. But, oddly, in “fog season” (aka “June Gloom” around here) the rains are pretty much over for the year.

It very much depends on the year. Generally in the LA area it’s all brown by mid April so it a a short window of green. This year it didn’t really rain at all jan/Feb and all of that came march/April instead. So it lasted quite a bit longer and has started it’s usual brown out now in may instead. I wish I had taken more pics in the green spots but it as pretty much like this from hike the other day but even denser:

It has not rained in about 3-4  weeks now. And it likely will not rain again at all until November. Maybe a rare overnight drizzle once or twice.
