A nervous family of quail gurgles and scatters when it notices me approaching.

On a hot day like today, the shade here makes for a great rest stop and makes pumping water a little easier.

Without a map, you'd probably think that the trail ends here, but it actually continues up the hill behind the spring. Just go through the poison oak and cross the creek!
