Apr 2 2016 - Santa Cruz Trail - Backpacking prep

Hiked upper Los Osos campground to peak above the saddle with 15lb pack to condition for camping trips. The wildflowers were going crazy, and lots of herps were out. Seeing the pond turtles was a treat, and whiptails were everywhere but not posing for pictures. Lots of side-blotched lizards as well, plus a gopher snake and a lined racer.
