Quick hike to Turtle Rock

Описание: Today I made a short hike to Chorro Hill [AKA "Turtle Rock", GPS coord. 35.357328, -120.824503]. This is a little volcanic knob that is a part of the Morro volcanic peaks.

It's only a 1 km. round trip if you hike in from the nearby road. I hiked in from the Chorro Trail and squeezed 3km out of the outing. On the hike in I saw a Racer [snake] and various tracks.

Most interesting was running into some indian grinding mortars on a couple of boulders along the trail. It was something to ponder that early people sat here and ground Acorns perhaps centuries ago. They were about 4"-5" in depth, and I've put up some still pics on my FACEBOOK page [facebook.com/Bushcraftwoodsdevil].
