Sleeping for 12 hours in 50 degrees at night means going to bed at 8 pm. We seem to get up at 7 am. We had lots of time to walk the trails and went to a winery across from the park.
This Forest suffered wildfire in 2020, yet many of the trees have survived. We made a long hike to see the extent of the fire.
Perhaps we have had to clean up a lot of goat poop that we are curious about trail scat. David took this photo and showed it to the park ranger. Yes folks, this is bear scat. When asked if bears are common in the park, the answer: We don't talk about it too much. This pile is fresh r from this morning.
Sophie comes and naps at the Calistoga Library while we catch up on the travel blog. We are thankful for the quiet place to get work done.
