We returned to Whitewater Preserve today - one of our favourite places to visit. We completed the four-mile hike to Red Dome although I lost confidence more than once that we'd ever see it. The trail was clearly marked but we'd run into people retuning who had given up or not seen any Red Dome. Turns out Red Rock is more accurate but the scenery on the way was spectacular and the day cool (17 degrees) so good for us. Bill's emergency backpack was more like Mary Poppins' carpet bag as he produced seats, cool water and a gourmet lunch of crackers, trail bars and an orange. Heaven!

On the return the grey branches seems violet coloured. I haven't identified these bushes yet. the valley is full of them |
