From the low point of today's travels at about 4000 feet, I walk back up Macedonia Canyon a half-mile or so to fetch my bicycle

On the way up the hill, this patch of silver plants, probably asters, catches my attention. My Delorme GPS makes getting back to the bike so easy in this area of numerous old roads. I eat a chocolate energy bar when I get back to the bike at 17h exactly.
