Well, that short downhill was fun! At the bottom of the hill, I reach Los Cruzeros and take a break.

There are several campsites scattered around here, which is usually underwater during the winter months (this is another part of Coyote Creek). There is a little bit of shade here from the oak trees, so I take advantage of it. Another Clif bar, and more water of course.

It's definitely a hot day today. I bet it has reached 90 degrees (Fahrenheit).
