Gem Hill

This morning, Fred hiked 1000 feet to the top of Gem Hill, which sits at 3100 feet above sea level. This is also the mountain we see through the back windows of the house and the silhouette of this mountain at twilight is so beautiful. Along the way, Fred saw lizards, an abandoned mine shaft, and the beautiful views of Rosamond. He also saw jackrabbits, but they were too fast for the camera.

Hiya lizard friend...

Besides the heat of the Sun, there is no doubt that we live in the desert from the pictures Fred took on his hike. Oh, by the way, 100 degrees is the projected high for today. Yesterday, we surpassed the projected high by 4 degrees, leaving us shy of 100 by only one degree.

See you next time...and a bit tanner.
